Sherry and peat are collaborating in youth. Kilchoman KILCHOMAN 2011-2016 4yo OB for Tokyo International Bar Show 2016 #162/2011 58.2% One of 636 bottles, Oloroso Sherry Butt A pleasant recent sherry, young and strong with barley, ginger, nuts, and a dominant smoky peat, briny sea breeze. When you drink it, it's spicy, with vanilla and plum, milk chocolate, the umami of young barley, a rich sweetness, a faint tannic note, and powerful strong peat. [Good/Very Good] This Kilchoman 2011 was bottled for the Tokyo International Bar Show this year, matured in an Oloroso Sherry Butt for 4 years. Although it has the youthfulness equivalent to its maturation age, the sherry is well pronounced. It might be a first-fill sherry butt. Impressively, it turned out as a young Islay malt with sherry, and I look forward to seeing more of this in the future.
