Kilchoman Small Batch STR Cask Islay Single Malt Whisky 750ml

Experience a masterclass in wood influence with the Kilchoman Small Batch STR Cask Islay Single Malt Whisky 750ml. This innovative release showcases the “Shaved, Toasted, and Re-charred” (STR) cask technique pioneered by the late Dr. Jim Swan. The distillery marries these unique red wine casks with traditional bourbon and Oloroso sherry barrels. It results in a complex spirit that perfectly balances the rugged Islay coast with refined sweetness. Every sip of Kilchoman Small Batch STR Cask Islay Single Malt Whisky 750ml reveals the incredible depth of farm-distilled Scotch.

• Innovation in Wood: The STR process breaks down oak compounds to release sugars, vanilla, and spice notes.
• Complex Vatting: This blend utilizes three distinct cask types to create a multi-layered tasting journey.
• Limited Availability: The distillery produces these small batches in restricted quantities for select global markets.
• Unfiltered Quality: Bottling at a higher strength ensures the natural oils and textures remain intact.

The whisky displays a deep amber hue with rich golden highlights. You will enjoy a nose of classic citrus-sweet notes and warming peat smoke. Elegant fruit-forward tones and a hint of dry straw add to the aromatic profile. On the palate, toasted oak makes way for luscious layers of raisin, fig, and rich nuttiness. The high alcohol content carries bold flavors of cinnamon, milk chocolate, and dark fruit. You will experience a long finish of maritime smoke matched with an abundance of spice and nutmeg.
