A swift take on my third sample: An excellent dram. However, it doesn't deviate much from the typical Kilchoman character. While I'm very fond of Kilchoman, many of their recent releases seem quite similar. I miss the diverse profile of something like the Red Wine Cask Finish, which offered more variety.
Effortless to drink, lacking any distinct character.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
