Kilchoman The Kilchoman Club 2nd Release Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 5 Year Old · 2008 Vintage

Colour

Deep burnished amber with copper-gold glints and a mahogany edge.

Nose

Intense peat smoke dominates, mingling with sea-salt, iodine and a briny maritime lift. Sherry cask notes unfold as dried fruit—raisin, fig, cherry—alongside cocoa, toffee and vanilla. Toasted oak and a whisper of spice knit the aroma into a mineral, sea-worn bouquet that lingers invitingly.

Palate

Intensely warming and full-bodied, this Islay single malt floods the palate with blistering peat smoke, coastal salt and ash. Rich sherry nuance threads through dark chocolate, dried cherry and toffee, while peppery spices—cinnamon and clove—linger over a long, warming finish.

Finish

Long, smoky finish with coastal brine and a gentle ashiness. Peat remains steady, weaving through dark fruit and cocoa notes from the sherry influence, while vanilla and spice lift the finish into a warm, lingering glow. The high ABV delivers a peppery, resinous echo that slowly fades to a dry, oak-tinged peat and maritime finish.
