Just Release! Kilchoman 11-Year 100% Islay Oloroso Sherry
Introduction & Overview
Kilchoman has introduced its Kilchoman 11 Years Old 100% Islay Oloroso Sherry , a remarkable single malt aged entirely in Oloroso sherry casks for 11 years. Distilled from barley harvests of 2011, 2012, and 2013, this release is part of the revered 100% Islay range, emphasizing Kilchoman’s commitment to farm-to-bottle whisky production on Islay. With an ABV of 50.0%, it offers whisky enthusiasts a unique expression combining dried fruit richness and Islay peat smoke in a limited edition format.
Design & Presentation
This special maturation is crafted from whisky matured in 16 different Oloroso sherry butts, showcasing Kilchoman’s focused dedication to single cask character within a cask-strength framework. While specific packaging details are not highlighted, the whisky’s farm-distillery provenance and limited single malt identity underscore an artisanal and authentic presentation consistent with Kilchoman’s 100% Islay philosophy.
Maturation & Flavor Profile
The 11-year maturation exclusively in Oloroso sherry butts imparts a complex aroma profile, blending notes of orange peel, dried fruits, light peat smoke, and sweet spices. The palate reveals rich smoke and dark chocolate layered with honey, cooked apples, and malty sweetness. The finish is marked by grilled fruits, currants, and lasting wood smoke, illustrating the harmonious marriage of sherry cask influence and Islay peat character. This expression is distilled with a peat level of 20 ppm, distinguishing it from Kilchoman’s core range.
