A potent peaty aroma with hints of spice. It's very smoky with a full flavor that isn't overwhelming. The smoky finish is satisfying. While I don't typically favor peaty Scotches, this one achieves a nice balance.
Nose: Peaty smoke! Sweetness, vanilla. Palate: Smoke, pepper, earthiness, chocolate. Finish: Smoke, sugar, pepper, a touch of bitterness. I can't really detect the typical sherry characteristics.
This is delightful. It delivers the solid smoke expected from Kilchoman, beautifully complemented by fruits and vanilla. It's truly full-bodied and well-balanced.
This bottling is truly excellent. I appreciate the subtle sweetness found in these Kilchoman expressions. The peat is perfectly balanced, and the flavor profile is exactly right. Highly enjoyable!
It's not my preferred Kilchoman, but it's still a very good one. The smoke is present but not overpowering. It has a slightly fruity character.
Quite alcoholic, though.
