Kilchoman Loch Gorm 2nd Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Kilchoman Loch Gorm 2nd Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

Kilchoman Loch Gorm Second Release – 2009, bottled in March 2014. Fully matured in oloroso sherry butts (and five years old of course), this is the only all-sherry-matured release from Kilchoman (pretty exciting). On the whole it’s a much more compelling whisky than the first release, which had a finishing round in a different type of sherry cask and which couldn’t find a balance between the peat and the sweet. With this second release, things have settled down nicely in our opinion, with the overall impact being one of smoked, grilled citrus fruit. The nose is well-peated without being overpowering, while the body is packed with notes of tangerine and pears, singed with peat smoke. Miraculously it’s all exquisitely balanced, so harmonious that it’s hard to believe this is just another iteration of last year’s Loch Gorm, which boasted none of these qualities.. Can’t wait for 2015’s expression. 17,100 bottles produced.
