Kilchoman Loch Gorm 10 Year Old Scotch Whisky 2025 Edition

Kilchoman Loch Gorm 10 Year Old Scotch Whisky 2025 Edition is a first: the first-ever Loch Gorm to carry an age statement — a 10-year-old Islay single malt fully matured in 23 Oloroso sherry butts (20 first-fill, 3 refill), hand-selected by founder Anthony Wills in Kilchoman's 20th anniversary year — bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered, with natural color — and it is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Against the 2022 edition (NAS, 8–14-year casks, 22 butts), the 2025 adds a full decade statement and one extra refill butt — same Oloroso-only profile, same 46%, same ~50 ppm Islay peat from the farm distillery founded in 2005. Master of Malt called it "the boldest Loch Gorm yet" and named it a Top 10 Whisky of the Month (April 2026).

Official tasting notes — nose: caramelised custard tart, freshly roasted coffee, candied ginger; palate: honey-roasted figs, cloves, sticky toffee pudding, smokiness like barbecued bananas; finish: lingering, savoury, smoky, and earthy.

Why buy the 2025? Because first-ever age statements in a beloved series don't come around twice — a decade of Oloroso wood on Kilchoman spirit is the Loch Gorm idea at full strength. Explore the Scotch whisky collection, the Kilchoman brand collection, and all whisky.

Serving note: neat with time in the glass — the sherry fruit and peat smoke take turns as it opens.

What is the ABV? 46% ABV, non-chill filtered, natural color.

What casks were used? 23 Oloroso sherry butts — 20 first-fill, 3 refill, hand-selected by Anthony Wills.

How does it differ from the 2022 Loch Gorm? The 2022 was NAS (8–14-year casks, 22 butts); the 2025 is the first with a 10-year age statement, with 23 butts — released in Kilchoman's 20th anniversary year.
