13 years is almost two-thirds of Kilchoman's entire lifetime as a distillery. This release is one of the rare moments where you can taste just how far the distillery's young, energetic style has developed over time.
Expert's description
Kilchoman 13 Year Old is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, matured for 13 years and bottled at 50 %.
With 13 years of maturation behind it, this is one of the oldest releases in Kilchoman's catalogue, surpassed only by a handful of even older limited editions. The long maturation has given the whisky time to settle, without losing the freshness and citrus character that defines the distillery's style.
The maturation has given the whisky layer upon layer of complexity: cherry, heather blossom, caramel and spice dancing together with the characteristic peat smoke, leaving a soft, silky finish.
Tasting notes
Nose
Juicy cherries and delicate heather blossom meet a deep, intense peat smoke.
Palate
Full, with notes of caramel, enticing spice and creamy vanilla that unite with the peat smoke in layer upon layer of complexity.
Finish
Soft and silky, with hints of butter and honey adding an extra dimension to the long, warm close.
