[Good/Very Good]
This is an official bottling of KILCHOMAN 2010, aged for 5 years, released specifically for THE WHISKY HOOP.
It was finished in a PX sherry cask and released as part of a set with a bourbon cask version in August.
While the exact duration of the finish is unknown, it was notably well-integrated with a clean sherry character that stood out for its lack of artificial flavoring.
The aroma balanced youthful barley, peat, and sweet sherry elements harmoniously.
On the palate, the PX cask's sweet sherry character, savory barley notes, and powerful peat with oceanic brine coexisted naturally, giving an impression of quality that matched its specifications.
KILCHOMAN is a distillery with great potential for the future, and having two official bottlings released this time is a very meaningful development that will contribute to its future trajectory.
