Kilchoman 100% Islay, 11th Edition 2021

The 100% Islay 11th Edition from Kilchoman distillery was matured in 26 bourbon barrels and 7 oloroso sherry butts for a minimum of 9 years.

Once harvested, the barley was hand malted on the Kilchoman malt floor, and gently turned twice daily by the maltmen as it germinated.

The green malt was then smoked using peat cut from the Cnoc Dubh peat banks, the thick peat smoke permeating each barley grain, creating the distinct smoky Kilchoman character, landing around 20PPM.

Once distilled in Kilchoman's unique pot stills, the new make spirit was filled into casks and stowed in dunnage warehouses  at the distillery.
