Kilchoman Sister Cask 2008/2024 Cask 633/2008 100% Islay, 0.7l, alc 52.4 Vol.-%

With the "Sister Cask" whiskies from Kilchoman, the German importer, the Hanseatic Wine Trading Company, is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2024.

When the Kilchoman distillery opened in 2005, it was the first new distillery on the Scottish island of Islay in 124 years. At Kilchoman, a relatively high value is placed on regionality and craftsmanship. The barley used in production is partly grown near the distillery and kilned on the company's own malt floors. The distillery's single malts delight fans of smoky whisky all over the world, which means that Kilchoman is expanding bit by bit.

The Scotch matured in Oloroso Sherry casks from 2008 to 2024 and is 15 years old according to the label. The distillery bottled it with a peat content of 50 ppm and an alcohol content of 52.4 percent by volume. It has a convincing natural color, is not chill-filtered and there are only 302 bottles available to buy.

Aroma: The whisky flatters the nose with lemons and stone fruit. Behind this lie notes of dark chocolate and peat smoke.

Taste: The 15-year-old Kilchoman Sister Cask Whisky from the Oloroso Cask has fruity notes. It tastes of citrus fruits and dried fruits. Behind this are peat and smoke.
