Loch Gorm is the name of the annual limited edition sherry matured. Named after the largest freshwater lake on Islay adjacent to the distillery, the dark murky colour of the loch's water is reflected in the rich copper tones of the Loch Gorm sherry-aged edition.
Each cask has been selected for its unique flavour profile which, when combined with the other 21 casks, creates a beautiful balance of rich fruit character with layers of classic Kilchoman, peat smoke and citrus sweetness.
Loch Gorm 2024 is aged exclusively in Oloroso sherry casks from renowned winemaker Jose Miguel Martin. It is common for distilleries to use different sherry producers, but for consistent quality and character it is essential that they are sourced from only one winery. A combination of casks and sherry casks from Jose Miguel Martin have been selected to provide two separate styles of maturation.
These ex-Oloroso sherry casks deliver a combination of heavy sherry notes, spicy dark chocolate, rich fruit and burnt sugar. This balances beautifully with Kilchoman's peat smoke and citrus fruits.
The bottles are bottled at 46 % ABV with a 0,7 l capacity and come in gift boxes.
The thirteenth Kilchoman 100 % Islay Edition is the first release since 2019 where Anthony Wills (the company's founder) has chosen to age exclusively in bourbon barrels. These were predominantly fresh casks, and as a result the whisky has beautiful layers of buttery vanilla and caramel flavours that combine beautifully with the citrus sweetness of the spirit.
The 100% Islay was distilled from the 2012, 2013 and 2014 barley harvests and then matured for a minimum of 8 years in 44 ex-bourbon casks.
This is a limited edition, only 13 000 were bottled! The alcohol content is 50 % and the whisky is slightly peaty. The aroma and flavour continue to show distinct layers of vanilla, caramel and citrus sweetness.
The bottles come in gorgeous gift boxes. We recommend serving alone at room temperature or with an ice cube.
