A first from us: 100% Sherry Cask Matured. Available in shops now. This 100% Islay release was distilled from our 2011, 2012 and 2013 barley harvests, and matured for a minimum of 11 years in ex-oloroso sherry butts. Bottled at 50% abv with no added colour or chill-filtration, this release combines 16 individually selected first-fill ex-oloroso sherry butts originally used by José y Miguel Martín in Jerez, Spain. This release differs significantly from the recent 100% Islay 15th Edition, which was matured exclusively in ex-bourbon barrels for nine years. Ex-sherry casks impart remarkable depth, with pronounced notes of dark fruits, spice, and smoked meat, in contrast to the lighter citrus-driven profile more typical of our previous 100% Islay expressions. “I’ve had my eye on these casks for a while, waiting for the perfect time to bottle them.” Anthony Wills, Kilchoman Founder. This limited edition is available now (depending on where you’re reading this), launching in the UK and Europe from today but taking a little longer to reach places further afield.
