Kilchoman Launch New Loch Gorm (in the USA) – Scotch Whisky News

Kilchoman Launch New Loch Gorm

ImpEx Beverages, Inc. is glad to let you know that Kilchoman have announced the launch of an entirely new range called Loch Gorm. Named after a famously peaty loch at the end of the Kilchoman drive, Loch Gorm will be the only fully ex-sherry cask matured release from Kilchoman.

As with the two other ranges in Kilchoman’s portfolio, Loch Gorm will be periodically re-released as a more mature version with each bottling differentiated by distillation and bottling years printed on the label.

This, the first release of Loch Gorm was matured in Oloroso sherry butts for over 5 years and finished in Oloroso sherry hogsheads for six weeks to give added depth of colour and character.

Anthony Wills, Kilchoman Managing Director “’previous sherry matured Kilchomans have been very popular with our customers and I’m sure this will be as equally well received. It shows wonderful balance between the peat smoke and spicy rich flavours typical of sherry cask maturation.”

Loch Gorm is bottled at 46% ABV and RRP is $ 89.99. This is a limited release of 10,000 bottles worldwide, only 200 cases are allocated for the US market.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: soft peaty aromas and a blend of soft fruits and spice
• Palate: an initial sweetness is followed by soft peat smoke, mixed fruits and spice
• Finish: a long clean finish with a depth of character and richness that belies its tender age
