Kilchoman Loch Gorm 2024 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

As one of Scotland’s smallest distilleries Kilchoman can claim that they perform every stage of the production process on-site. Taking water from the nearby Allt Gleann Osamail burn (stream) they produce approximately 120,000 litres of spirit a year. The spirit is then placed inside ex-Bourbon barrels from Buffalo Trace distillery in Kentucky, and first fill Oloroso Sherry hogsheads and butts from Miguel Martin, Jerez, Spain. They often use wine seasoned barrels and rum seasoned barrels in smaller batch releases. When Kilchoman was constructed it was the first new distillery on Islay in over 120 years. Not only a milestone for Islay but for the Scotch malt Whisky Industry.

This 2024 release of Kilchoman’s always wonderful Loch Gorm is a limited edition. Loch Gorm 2024 Edition was matured in Oloroso sherry butts previously used by Bodega Jose y Miguel Martin, for a minimum of 9 years.  The 23 casks selected by Kilchoman Founder, Anthony Wills, are a combination of 17 fresh and 6 refill casks from three different distillation years.  The sherry-soaked oak adds layers of rich fruit character which balance beautifully with classic Kilchoman peat smoke and citrus flavours.  Bottled at 46% alc/vol and no colour is added and it has not been chillfiltered, just the way we like them.
