Kilchoman 2007 / Bourbon Cask for The Whisky Show

This is availible from TWE for Â£64.95 http://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/P-12993.aspx

Kilchoman 2007 / Bourbon Cask for The Whisky Show
70cl / 61.4%
Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling
A remarkably mature 2007 Kilchoman bottled for The Whisky Show 2010. Delicious notes of orange marmalade on a quite medicinal palate. An essential for Islayphiles. At this strength, a few drops of water is advisable.

Tasting Notes by Tim F
N: Coal and white chocolate, then bitter orange marmalade and burnt wet wood. Develops medicine cabinet aromas and Fishermens Friends, before wet wool, creosote and tarry rope.

P: Initially sweet, then the tarry rope and sooty notes come through along with bitter orange liqueur. Quite palatable for a whisky over 60% abv. Water makes it even more drinkable, lifting the phenols and revealing a liquorice note.

F: Fairly short but very pleasing. Spices and lingering orange notes.

This is the price it was initially released for wasn't it? I'll have a think and hope some is around in the morning if I decide I fancy one.

JAB like the sig pic, could do with more. . . and your address and date of your next holiday.

I have had a taste of this one, a decent young whisky, but if it is for drinking pleasure you can get much better for your money but a good one to stick away in the collection.

Yes it is the same as the rest of the kilchomans expensive and young for drinking, but good for the collection so this bottle will be joining my other 7 bottles in My collection!

inaugural, autumn 2009, spring 2010, Feis ile 2010, summer 2010, , winter 2010 Where all availible from the distillery,

But others like Royal Mile Whiskies and Kilchoman 2007 / Bourbon Cask for The Whisky Show release are only availible from special retailers but still offical distillery bottlings.

Appart from the ones mentioned above there are also a few private single casks bottled by kilchoman such as " 2007/334 for Belgium, 2007/120 for the Netherlands, 2007/211 for the Netherlands 2 and others!

Just had a look on whiskybase, if it is accurate Kilchoman have released 40 bottlings to date, i would never have guessed that many but a few of them have been bottled for tastings.
