Kilchoman
release the oldest edition of its
lighter peated 100% Islay to date.
 Kilchoman
has announced the release of Kilchoman
100% Islay 7th Edition. The 100% Islay
releases are one release the folks at
the Kilchoman farm distillery are particularly proud of with
every single step of the whisky making
process, from barley to bottle,
completed on site at the Islay farm
distillery.
The farm is based on the rugged west
coast of Islay and nestled in the
outbuildings is the distillery. They
work throughout the year to grow, malt,
distil, mature and bottle Kilchoman’s
unique single malt using traditional
farm distilling techniques not seen on
Islay for generations.
This, the 7th edition of the annually
released limited edition is a vatting
of fresh and refill ex Buffalo Trace
Bourbon barrels filled in 2010 and
bottled in 2017. This is the most mature
expression released to date and as with
all previous 100% Islay releases, all
parts of the production process for the
Kilchoman 100% Islay 7th Edition have
taken place at the distillery – from
barley to bottle.
The barley is grown, malted, distilled,
matured and bottled at Kilchoman making
for a unique character. Bottled at 50%
ABV and peated to a lower level to that
of other Kilchoman releases, 100% Islay
has a lighter, fresher feel to it with
the bourbon cask maturation creating a
fresh and floral balance.
You will find the new Kilchoman 100% Islay
7th Edition available from the beginning
of May from whisky
specialist shops such as

Kilchoman 100% Islay
7th Edition Review

William
Morrison's Tasting Notes:
Colour: Pale gold.
Nose: A fantastic clean, fresh
nose, vanilla and enticingly gentle
sweet peat smoke, a little mild zesty
lemon.
Taste: Gentle lemon drizzled peat
smoke coats the palate, joined by some
liquorice and oak spice.
Finish: Long, the sweet peat
smoke is mellowed by the vanilla, mildly
drying and lingering oak spice.
Comment: Another outstanding
release of the 100% Islay, perhaps a
little more oak and vanilla than was in
earlier releases and still enough sweet
Kilchoman peat to keep any peat head
happy.
