Kilchoman Loch Gorm Scotch Whisky 2021 Edition

🌫️ Kilchoman Loch Gorm 2021 Edition — Peat and Sherry in Perfect Harmony

Limited Release | Oloroso Sherry Cask Matured | Islay Single Malt | 46% ABV

The Loch Gorm 2021 Edition is Kilchoman’s annual celebration of Islay’s smoky soul and sherried elegance. This vintage is a vatting of 24 Oloroso sherry butts filled in 2011 and 2012, matured for a minimum of 9 years, and bottled at 46% ABV. With only 17,000 bottles released worldwide, it’s a collector’s gem that balances peat smoke with rich fruit and spice.

🔥 Tasting Notes

• Nose: Macerated lemon, buttery shortbread, Moroccan spice, and faint peat smoke
• Palate: Clove, dark chocolate, juicy prunes, roasted almonds, nougat, and peat embers
• Finish: Herbaceous, earthy, and maritime — with liquorice, leather, and a dry sherry-soaked fade

🏷️ Highlights

• Region: Islay, Scotland
• ABV: 46% (92 Proof)
• Cask Type: Oloroso sherry butts from Bodega Miguel Martin
• Peat Level: ~50 ppm
• Style: Non-chill filtered, natural color

💎 Why It Stands Out

This 2021 release showcases Kilchoman’s mastery of peat-sherry integration, offering a bold yet refined dram that evolves with every sip. The use of large 500-liter sherry butts imparts a deep, layered complexity that’s ideal for connoisseurs and collectors.

🎯 Perfect For

• Fans of sherried Islay single malts
• Pairing with smoked meats, dark chocolate, or aged cheeses
• Gifting to whisky lovers who appreciate limited edition craftsmanship
