Kilchoman Port Cask Matured Launched

[William]

Kilchoman today released its first ever Port Cask Matured whisky.



Kilchoman's Port Cask Matured, the first of its kind from the distillery was 100% matured in ex Ruby Port casks allowing for the full influence of the port casks to be imparted into the whisky.

A young whisky, distilled in 2011 and bottled 2014. Bottled at 55% ABV this special edition release is limited to 6000 bottles and will be available in the UK from today 5th of September in all good whisky specialist shops such as The Whisky Exchange

I really like port cask matured (or finished) whiskies but will never pay 65-70 GBP for three year old bottle.

[Bookie]

I am sure it will be interesting to try and all the Kilchoman i have tried has been young and i had no complaints so far. Port and Peat can be a good mix but £69 for a 3 year old and i would say Kilchoman releases may be a little past being collectable now. Shouldnt we be starting to see appropriately priced whisky coming out of Kilchoman now.

In my area Machir Bay retails for about 54.99 USD, that is a fine price.

Not impressed with the price but i will probably get a bottle anyway if i hear it is worth a go. Still surprised Kilchoman didnt give this another 2 or 3 years in the cask.

I taste dthe new Kilchoman Port Casked Matured yesterday, a big fruity experience on the nose and this is joined by lovely sweet drying smoke on the palate, a lovely balance of peat & port, this is young, this is fun and very very enjoyable. I added my review here:
