Kilchoman Fino Sherry Cask Matured 2023 Limited Edition Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

This 2023 limited edition Fino Sherry Cask Matured is the 2nd official release from Islay's Farm Distillery. The Kilchoman team hand-selected a total of 20 Fino Sherry Butts from Bodega Jose y Miguel Martin in Spain known for their impeccable standard. Combining 20 of these casks together after a minimum of five years of maturation has developed a dry salinity which is balanced with a green fresh fruit influence and elongated delicate Islay peat smoke.

"The Fino Sherry maturation works incredibly well with our classic Kilchoman character. The 2023 release elevates the fragrant green apple, stewed fruits and sweet citrus while allowing for the unmistakeable Kilchoman peat smoke to linger on the palate. Fino is another example of sherry casks working together, not against, our Kilchoman spirit." - Anthony Wills, Kilchoman Founder.

Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Elegant, dry peat smoke on the initial nosing, gradually opens to the unmistakable fruity character of Kilchoman. The distinct influence from the Fino Sherry casks provides dry, smoked oak which balances with the smoke found in the heavily peated Kilchoman malt. A lasting aroma of sweet butterscotch as the whisky begins to open.
- Palate: Honeycomb sweetness can be found immediately on the palate, gradually giving way to rich toffee and caramel. The Kilchoman spirit brings together candied fruits and the fresh citrus found in the distillation. Flaked almonds and a delicate peat smoke remain throughout.
- Finish: Long-lasting considered finish combining the malty spirit of Kilchoman, with the ripened citrus fruit profile provided by the Fino Sherry casks. A subtle peat smoke which has coated the palate right through now shares the finish with hints of dark chocolate.
