Kilchoman 100% Islay 15th Edition Scotch Whisky
Kilchoman 100% Islay 15th Edition – Farm-to-Bottle Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
The Kilchoman 100% Islay 15th Edition represents the purest expression of the distillery's founding vision: whisky made entirely on Islay, from barley grown in the fields surrounding the farm to the final spirit bottled on site. This annual release showcases Kilchoman's commitment to authenticity, provenance, and traditional craftsmanship — making it one of Scotland's few true grain-to-glass whiskies.
The 15th Edition is matured in a combination of ex-bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry butts, delivering a beautifully balanced profile that highlights Kilchoman's signature light peat smoke, orchard fruit sweetness, and elegant coastal character.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Fresh citrus, green apple, vanilla cream, soft peat smoke, and gentle maritime salinity
- Palate: Bright and elegant with honeyed malt, lemon zest, toasted oak, orchard fruit, and subtle sherry richness. Light peat smoke weaves through without overpowering.
- Finish: Clean, refined, and gently smoky with lingering sweetness, malted barley, and coastal freshness
Pairing Suggestions
Kilchoman 100% Islay 15th Edition pairs beautifully with smoked salmon, oysters, and mild soft cheeses. Its light peat and citrus character also complements lemon tart, shortbread, and fresh seafood. Best enjoyed neat or with a small splash of water to open up the citrus, malt, and gentle smoke.
