| Tasting Notes | |
| Craig Daniels | Nose: lots of powdered sugar and coal tar peat. Palate: sweet and smoky, tar and rubber. Finish: sweet, metallic, papery and short. Clean but curiously spiky and the sweetness and peat don't mesh all that well. let down by a curiously cardboard furriness in the finish. |
| Oliver Klimek | Colour: Straw - Nose: Peat smoke, vanilla, lemon zest, liquorice, camphor, cloves and pepper - Palate: Rather strong peat, hints of smoked ham, vanilla, liquorice, nutmeg, cloves and hints of pepper. - Finish: Very long, smoky and slightly spicy. - Overall: Once more Kilchoman has managed to issue a young whisky that is extremely enjoyable. The endless finish is its biggest asset as well as the affordable price. |
