Kilchoman
release the 2015 expression of there
limited edition sherried Loch Gorm
 The Kilchoman distillery which is now
in its 10th anniversary year (how time
fly's) have today released their first
new bottling of the year the limited
edition Kilchoman Loch Gorm 2015.
Named after a famously peaty loch
overlooked by the distillery, Loch Gorm
releases are traditionally matured in ex
Oloroso sherry butts and this years
release is no exception. Where the 2015
version differs from the previous year
is the use of sherry hogsheads to mature
a portion of the whisky rather than just
sherry butts. This edition will also be
marginally older than the five year old
2014 version, it being bottled from
casks filled in both 2009 and 2010.
Kilchoman founder Anthony Wills
commented: "As well as this year’s
release being slightly older, we decided
to increase the ratio of single malt
matured in smaller sherry hogsheads
versus that matured in larger sherry
butts. This increases the influence from
the sherry casks and gives the whisky a
striking intensity and richness. That
said, the whisky retains the balance and
complexity Kilchoman releases are
well-known for."
The Kilchoman Loch Gorm 2015 was
released today, it was bottled at 46% ABV Non
Chill Filtered, no added colouring and
will be available from whisky specialist
shops such as
The Whisky Exchange with an
RRP of £63.00.

Kilchoman Loch Gorm
Tasting Notes
|
William
Morrison's Tasting Notes:
*Note these notes are for the Kilchoman
Loch Gorm 2013 release
Colour: A deep natural copper
colour from the sherry casks, no fake
tans here.
Nose: Lovely enticing light medicinal peat
smoke, some toffee and attractive rich
grape and touch of spice.
Taste: Initially mild burnt
medicinal earthy peat smoke coated in a
sweet rich
sherry fruitiness then the youthful oaky
spiciness. Still a bit of feinty
character in there.
Finish: A long finish. Mild peat smoke and mildly
drying sweet sherry slowly fading leaving
a lovely lingering youthful oaky
spiciness.
