Kilchoman Cognac Cask Matured Limited Release Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 50%

Cognac is a variety of brandy which has been produced from a distilled white wine.
Cognac must be twice distilled (using copper pot stills) and aged for a minimum of two years in French oak barrels (typically Limousin).
To firstly produce the white wine, the grapes are grown in specific designated growing regions and harvested towards the end of the year, typically around October.
The grapes are then pressed and fermented, naturally without the addition of sugar, reaching 9%abv.
This is then twice distilled in copper pot stills with the heart of the distillation transferred to the above-mentioned oak barrels for maturation.
A minimum maturation period of two years is required.

The Cognac casks used at Kilchoman have been purchased from Bossuet Cooperage in France originating from a single Cognac house.
These 300 bulk litre casks have worked incredibly well with their spirit imparting flavour profiles such as dried fruits, toffee and warm spices.
