Kilchoman
launch a second limited edition Fino
Sherry Cask Matured expression.
 Kilchoman
has announced the release of a 2023 limited edition of their Kilchoman
Fino Sherry Cask Matured single malt
whisky, this is
Kilchoman's second ever release to be
matured in ex Fino sherry casks.
For this second Fino Sherry Cask Matured
release Anthony Wills, Kilchoman Founder
and Robin Bignal, Production Manager,
hand-selected a total of 20 Fino Sherry
Butts of which the spirit was distilled
in 2018. The Sherry butts were purchased
from Bodega Jose y Miguel Martin in
Spain for their impeccable standard. The
whisky was aged for a minimum of five
years.
Commenting on the release Anthony Wills,
Kilchoman Founder said: "The Fino Sherry
maturation works incredibly well with
our classic Kilchoman character. The
2023 release elevates the fragrant green
apple, stewed fruits and sweet citrus
while allowing for the unmistakeable
Kilchoman peat smoke to linger on the
palate. Fino is another example of
sherry casks working together, not
against, our Kilchoman spirit."
Kilchoman Fino Sherry Cask Matured is a peaty
dram, 50PPM, it has been bottled at 50%
ABV, naturally coloured, non chill
filtered and their are 15,650 bottles in
the release.

Matured available from specialist online whisky

Bottled at 50% ABV.
Producer's
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Elegant,
dry peat smoke on the initial nosing,
gradually opens to the unmistakable
fruity character of Kilchoman. The
distinct influence from the Fino Sherry
casks provides dry, smoked oak which
balances with the smoke found in the
heavily peated Kilchoman malt. A lasting
aroma of sweet butterscotch as the
whisky begins to open.
Taste: Honeycomb
sweetness can be found immediately on
the palate, gradually giving way to rich
toffee and caramel. The Kilchoman spirit
brings together candied fruits and the
fresh citrus found in the distillation.
Flaked almonds and a delicate peat smoke
remain throughout.
Finish: Long-lasting
considered finish combining the malty
spirit of Kilchoman, with the ripened
citrus fruit profile provided by the
Fino Sherry casks. A subtle peat smoke
which has coated the palate right
through now shares the finish with hints
of dark chocolate.
