Kilchoman Cognac Cask 2016 2023 Limited Edition 0.7l 50% single cask Scotch whisky
limited to 15,100 bottles worldwide.
Nose: An opening note of rich apple and pear forms the structure for this release. Herbaceous fresh fruit begins to make its way as the whisky begins to open. Subtle tones of honey and warming spice develop over time. Peat remains delicate on the nose, bringing a dryness to this release.
Palate: The texture provided by a slow distillation and the influence of the Cognac oak allows for a buttery texture which continues throughout. Dried lemon and apricot combine with cinnamon and nutmeg which are held together by an influence of toasted oak and sweet peat smoke.
Finish: The depth of flavour that the Cognac casks have provided the Kilchoman spirit is unrivalled; dried fruits and marzipan make way to crystallised ginger, balancing sweet and spice. Lingering peat smoke is lightened with the influence of citrus oil making itself known across the palate.
Kilchoman celebrates a premiere and presents its very first Cognac cask maturation. For the Kilchoman Cognac Cask Matured Release 2023 32 Cognac casks from Tonellerie Bossuet in France were selected and matured in Kilchoman's warehouses for at least six years. Each cask has an individual aroma, but once brought together, they create a wonderfully rich, herbaceous-sweet spice that harmonises beautifully with Kilchoman's maritime peat smoke.
This is the first official limited release of Kilchoman Cognac Cask. It was distilled in 2016 and matured in 32 barriques previously used to mature Cognac. Maturation in ex-Cognac casks gives the malt notes of pear, apricot, and a hint of spice that are perfectly in tune with Kilchoman's natural citrus sweetness and maritime peat smoke.
one of two limited editions from Islay's farm distillery Kilchoman: premiering Kilchoman Cognac Cask Matured & Fino Sherry Cask Matured. Founder Anthony Wills emphasises that the Fino sherry maturation gives the malt minerality, notes of oak, and maple syrup, and that these aromas harmonise exceptionally well with the classic Kilchoman character. The Cognac casks selected for the Kilchoman Cognac Cask Matured Release 2023 are perfectly in tune, with notes of pear and apricot, with the fruity, lemony style of Kilchoman single malt.
Kilchoman's First Ever Cognac Cask Matured Release – Limited Release 2023 100% Cognac Cask Matured
The Madeira Cask Matured limited edition was distilled in May 2015 and matured for 5 years 3 months in 46 fresh madeira hogsheads before being bottled at 50% abv in August 2021
"Kilchoman really lends itself to maturation in fortified wine casks. The rich fruity character of the casks balances nicely with the creamy citrus sweetness of Kilchoman. My preference when using wine casks has always been to use fresh first fill barrels with a view to bottling the whisky relatively young. This approach means the lighter clean flavours and fresh maritime peat smoke aren’t overwelmed by the cask influence”
- Anthony Wills, Kilchoman Founder The ferry takes you from the Kennacraig terminal on the Scottish mainland to the island of Islay. Located on the west coast, it is the southernmost and most fertile island of the Hebrides – an island group along the northwest coast of Scotland. A very special island awaits us. While we can still feel the salty, damp air on our faces and the sea rolling beneath us, we can already make out the shoreline on the horizon. Islay is marked by rugged rocks and grass-covered hills. Miles of sandy beaches, rich flora and fauna – Islay is raw, windy, and breathtaking. An island well known among whisky lovers. We want to learn more about the distillery where the entire whisky production – from barley to bottle – takes place in one location. A young yet rustic and traditional distillery in the heart of the island of Islay: Kilchoman Distillery.
In a modern world without borders, reflecting on origin, traditions, and old values can be a beautiful contrast. It is a philosophy that defines the independent Kilchoman Distillery of the Wills family on the Scottish Hebridean island of Islay – one of the most legendary whisky regions, captivating with its rugged beauty and vast sandy beaches. In 2005, Anthony Wills, the first founder of a distillery on the Isle of Islay in 124 years, had a visionary goal: to revive the original craftsmanship of "farm distilling". To this day, the fertile soils around the village of Kilchoman serve as the foundation for growing its own barley, along with the quality of Islay peat, incomparable and shaped by the Atlantic. All of this is what makes Kilchoman unique today. With the 100% Islay Range, the products represent the only Islay single malt whisky made "From Barley to Bottle" – from barley to bottle – on site and exclusively by traditional craftsmanship.
