New Kilchoman Expressions in Town From Impex Beverages – Scotch Whisky News
Kilchoman 2008 Vintage & PX Finish ImpEx Exclusive are now in!
Established in 2005, Kilchoman is one of the smallest distilleries in Scotland. Based on a farm on the rugged west coast of Islay, Kilchoman was the first distillery to be built on the island for 125 years. Kilchoman displays all that is great about the grass-roots traditions of Scotch whisky distilling. As well as being one of only a handful of distilleries still practicing floor malting, barley is also grown on the farm, making Kilchoman the only distillery to complete all parts of the whisky making process on site. Kilchoman truly is Islay’s farm distillery – from barley to bottling.
Kilchoman 2008 Vintage 46% ABV
This is Kilchoman’s first ever seven year old single malt, the most mature expression to be released by the Islay distillery since its establishment in 2005. The Limited Edition 2008 Vintage is a vatting of fresh ex American bourbon barrels filled in July 2008 and bottled in August 2015. This latest release is a continuation of Kilchoman’s by-annually released Vintage range, the distillery having previously bottled 2006 and 2007 Vintages. Anthony Wills, Kilchoman Founder and Managing Director; ‘The 2008 Vintage is a classic bourbon barrel aged Kilchoman however the additional maturation has added layers of soft fruit and sweetness not seen in previous releases.’ SRP $100/btl
Kilchoman PX Sherry Cask Finish (#680/2010) ImpEx Exclusive 57.2% alc
This is a single cask release initially matured in an ex-Bourbon barrel before being transferred into a Pedro Ximenez Sherry cask for a 4 month finishing period, prior to being bottled at cask strength. ImpEx Exclusive. SRP $140/btl
