Kilchoman Inaugural Release Tasting note

By Miguel at 2011 Mar,31 in Tasting , Kilchoman

Aged 2.5-3 years on bourbon casks and then finished in sherry casks for 6 months. Wow, this is quite stunning! Old-fashioned in many respects: oily texture, with rooty, layered peat smoke, coal tar, shoe polish, and hints of wet sheep as the foundation for a complex array of additional flavors: toffee apple, caramel fudge, blackberry jam, golden raisin, grist, bourbon barrel char, and licorice root. Long, smoldering ember, dried herb, light toffee finish. It’s all balanced perfectly, and very mature for its age.

This dram has a white-like color.

Nose (88): inexistent. sweet, peat, citrus, more peat, floral, earth. First nosing data is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

Palate (96): . hot, peat, earth, sweet. Bouquet data is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

Finish (92): no finish. peaty, earthy finish. Finish length is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Kilchoman Inaugural Release 3 year with 92 points over 100.
