Kilchoman Madeira Finish AB Cask 50ml

This item is archived.

This is the 50ml mini bottle version.

Selected by Andy Dunn at Gold Medal Marketing and bottled exclusively for the Alberta market. This 7 Year ( and 9 months) Kilchoman was finished for 11 months in a Madeira Cask after maturing in ex-Bourbon. This is Kilchoman's heavily peated style, bottled at 50PPM. 56.2%.

Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: tarry and ashy; rare Elk with a blueberry jus, a side of sautéed carrots and grilled broccoli; too specific? maybe I'm just hangry! some gun smoke, but I am struggling to get at it and past the meaty-peppery wine tones.

Palate: sweet, malty and smoky; tarry with Dutch licorice and a touch of gun smoke; I still get some rare Elk in there, blueberry jus and sautéed carrots; burnt green veg too? yes; loads of berry fruits, a touch of jam with clotted cream and a salted caramel.

Finish: long, sweet, fruity, spicy and malty with gun smoke.

Comment: bias declared, I struggle with wine finished/matured Kilchomans, but I know there are many who like this style; if that’s you, you’ll love it; this is a unique and interesting take on Kilchoman, and diverges greatly from our own cask selections and the distillery’s core range.
