Featured in the 1001whiskies you must try before you die book
The latest edition of the 100% Islay by Kilchoman. The name comes from the fact that 100% of the barley they use to produce this comes from Islay. It is matured in a mixture of first fill Bourbon barrels and refil Bourbon barrels.This has great complexity for a young malt and an almost creamy mouthfeel, very fresh and inviting with mossy coastal notes and touches of white pepper and salted lime. A refreshing Islay malt.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Bright straw-gold with sunlit honey hues and a soft amber glow.
Nose
Fresh, mossy coastal aromas rise with a brisk maritime edge—briny sea spray, white pepper and salted lime. A vibrant Islay scent that lingers with a touch of coastal sweetness.
Palate
Creamy, velvety mouthfeel with mossy coastal notes, a subtle white-pepper bite and salted-lime brightness, buoyed by bourbon-cask vanilla—refreshing, youthful Islay character that remains clean and inviting.
Finish
Coastal moss lingers through the finish, brightened by white pepper and salted lime; a creamy warmth persists, fading to a clean, saline Islay glow that invites another sip.
