Kilchoman 9 Jahre Single Cask – Portuguese Brandy Finish

A Limited Edition with a Distinctive Portuguese Influence

A new exclusive Kilchoman release has arrived, available only through Whisky.de. The Kilchoman 9 Jahre Single Cask – Portuguese Brandy Finish is a bold and smoky single malt, matured for nine years and finished for 17 months in Portuguese brandy casks. Bottled at a robust 54.6% ABV, this single cask whisky (Cask #15/1019) offers a compelling fusion of Kilchoman’s signature peat and the deep fruitiness of brandy maturation.

Design and Presentation

This non-chill filtered, naturally colored whisky is presented in Kilchoman’s classic packaging, emphasizing its artisanal approach. The label highlights the unique Portuguese Brandy Finish, reinforcing its limited-edition status. The deep amber hues within the bottle hint at the rich flavors that await whisky enthusiasts.

Maturation and Flavor Profile

Initially aged in ex-bourbon casks, this whisky gains its complexity from a 17-month finishing period in Portuguese brandy casks. The result is an elegant balance of dark fruit notes, rich tobacco, and a lasting smoky depth, complemented by a peat level of 50ppm—a signature of Kilchoman’s bold character.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Dark fruit, dried raisins, cinnamon spice, smoked oak, and subtle peat.
• Palate: A refined interplay of citrus, dried fruits, dark plum, sweet tobacco, liquorice, and briny smoke.
• Finish: A long-lasting balance of integrated peat smoke and rich fruits.

Now available at Whisky.de, this single cask bottling presents a rare opportunity to explore a uniquely finished Kilchoman whisky with a rich, smoky, and fruit-forward complexity.
