Kilchoman
release 2nd limited edition of its
popular sherried malt Loch Gorm.
 Kilchoman
have announced the 2014 release of its
limited edition Kilchoman Loch Gorm
Single Malt Whisky. This year they have
release only 17,100 bottles of the 5
year old sherry cask matured expression,
it will be available worldwide from todaye.
This is the second limited edition of
Kilchoman Loch Gorm Single Malt to be
released. The first, which was released
in April last year, which I reviewed
HERE
and described as a cracking young peaty
sherried Islay whisky and I wasn't the
only one to think so as it was awarded
the prestigious 2013 IWSC Gold.
Each release is differentiated by the
distillation and bottling dates on the
front of the bottle and carton. The 2014
release was filled into fresh Oloroso
sherry butts in 2009 and bottled in
spring 2014, this full ex-sherry cask
maturation adds a new dimension
to Kilchoman’s peaty character,
bringing a depth of flavour and colour
to the Islay Single Malt. The Loch Gorm
range is the only all sherry
cask-matured expression from Kilchoman.
This range is named after the famously
peaty loch in front of the distillery on
Islay; Kilchoman draws the water for
Loch Gorm from the burn that runs into
the loch.
Anthony Wills, Managing Director of
Kilchoman, said: "Our sherry cask
matured releases have proved very
popular and this is the third and most
mature to date so we anticipate this
latest offering to be very well
received.
"Loch Gorm shows wonderful balance
between the peat smoke and spicy rich
flavours, typical of sherry cask
maturation, producing a unique flavour
which characterises Kilchoman whiskies."
Founded in 2005, Kilchoman is one of the
smallest distilleries in Scotland and
the first distillery to be built on
Islay for 125 years. A working farm
distillery, it is one of only a handful
of distilleries still practising floor
malting. Kilchoman also grows a portion
of its barley at the distillery, and
completes all parts of the production
process, from barley to bottling on the
island.
Kilchoman Loch Gorm 2014 was
bottled at 46% ABV and is will soon be
available from
The Whisky Exchange, priced
at a RRP of £55-£59.
