Experience the robust intensity of Kilchoman Batch Strength, a whisky that truly embodies the rugged spirit of its Islay farm distillery. Just as Kilchoman’s bull, Rory, represents strength, this release showcases the untamed power of their single malt.
Kilchoman Farm is a landscape unto itself, spanning 2,300 acres around the historic Kilchoman Church. Their Blackface sheep graze the craggy southern hills, while Aberdeen Angus cattle thrive on machair grasses and draff – the barley husks from whisky production.
This formidable dram is matured in a diverse combination of re-charred red wine casks, Oloroso sherry butts, and bourbon barrels. A touch of water after maturation brings it to a potent 57% ABV, resulting in a colossal whisky. It masterfully blends Kilchoman’s signature natural peat smoke and citrus character with dark fruits, rich spices, and a salted caramel sweetness.
Batch Strength’s elevated alcohol content amplifies the whisky’s intricate flavors, offering a pure and robust testament to Kilchoman’s artistry. Its heightened intensity promises an immersive journey through a complex interplay of aromas and tastes.
Nose: Discover vibrant red fruits, fresh cherries, and delicate heather.
Palate: Indulge in rich toffee, bold spices, and creamy vanilla.
Finish: A silky viscosity leads to notes of fresh blossom and intense, lasting peat smoke, subtly reminiscent of crumpets, butter, and honey.
