Kilchoman
launch their first ever Cognac Cask
Matured expression.
 Kilchoman has announced the release of
their first ever Cognac cask matured
expression as part of their 2023 Limited
Editions.
Kilchoman Cognac Cask Matured is made of
of 32 casks which were chosen by Anthony
Wills, Kilchoman Founder and Robin
Bignal, Production Manager, for their
exceptional quality. The Kilchoman
spirit was filled into the Cognac casks
sourced from Tonellerie Bossuet (France)
in 2016 and left to age in Kilchoman's
dunnage warehouses for a minimum of six
years.
Commenting on the release Anthony Wills,
Kilchoman Founder said: "The Cognac
casks selected for this 2023 release
allow our fruit-driven, citrus spirit
style to balance with that of the Cognac
oak. There is a delicate balance to be
found when working with Cognac casks;
keeping the age of this release at a
minimum of six years old ensures the
flavours from the spirit and the cask
are easily detected, neither dominates."
Kilchoman Cognac Cask Matured is a peaty
dram, 50PPM, it has been bottled at 50%
ABV, naturally coloured, non chill
filtered and their are 15,100 bottles in
the release.
You will find the Kilchoman Cognac Cask
Matured available from specialist online whisky
shops such as
The Whisky Exchange,
The Whisky Shop,

and

Producer's
Tasting Notes:
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.
Taste: 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.
