Kilchoman Loch Gorm 2024 Edition Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
In stock
Named after the famously dark, peaty loch overlooked by the distillery, the annual Loch Gorm limited edition is Kilchomans only regular expression matured entirely in oloroso sherry casks.
Loch Gorm is exclusively matured in oloroso sherry casks from the renowned bodega, Jose Miguel Martin. It is common for distilleries to use a variety of sherry producers but for our consistent quality and character, it is vital that we source them all from just one bodega. We select a combination of sherry butts and hogsheads from Jose Miguel Martin that provides two separate styles of maturation.
These ex-oloroso sherry casks impart a combination of heavy sherry notes, spicy dark chocolate, rich fruits and burnt sugar. This balances beautifully with the Kilchoman peat smoke and citrus fruits found within our farm crafted spirit.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep mahogany-amber with a coppery glow and a hint of ruby sheen.
Nose
Opulent oloroso sherry floods the nose—burnt sugar, toffee, figs and dark plum mingle with spicy chocolate and rich dried fruit. Kilchoman peat threads through, while bright citrus notes and a whisper of sea air lift the bouquet into a poised, indulgent harmony.
Palate
Peat-kissed and richly sherried, the palate delivers burnt sugar, toffee and cocoa, weaving with ripe prunes and dried cherries. Spices and citrus zest rise as dark chocolate notes unfold, while the Kilchoman peat lingers smoky and coastal, finishing with a warming, raisiny glow.
Finish
Long, warming finish of burnt sugar, toffee and rich dried fruits from oloroso sherry, woven with dark chocolate and spice, and carried by Kilchoman peat with a bright citrus lift that lingers gracefully.
