Kilchoman Single Bourbon Cask #484 Whisky 4 Year Old · 2008 Vintage

Colour

Bright golden amber with warm honey hues and a sunlit glow.

Nose

Intense Islay peat and coastal brine greet the nose, bolstered by bourbon vanilla and warm toffee. Lemon zest brightens toasted barley, with whispers of coconut and almond, all wrapped in creamy sweetness. A vibrant, maritime aroma that lingers with smoky resolve.

Palate

Bold peat smoke billows beneath vanilla and toasted oak from the ex-Bourbon cask. Bright citrus zest, coconut and honeyed sweetness mingle with creamy caramel, while iodine and sea salt lend a maritime edge. At 61% ABV the heat remains assertive, delivering peppery spice and a drying, smoky finish that lingers with ash and char, fading to warm oak sweetness.

Finish

Long, warming finish of peat smoke and vanilla, with creamy oak and a hint of citrus zest. The ex-bourbon cask carries a soft sweetness that lingers with a salty Islay breath, finishing peppery and dry as it slowly fades into warmth.
