Kilchoman
Loch Gorm 2022, the next annual
instalment of the Islay farm
distillery's popular 100% Oloroso sherry
butt matured dram.
 Kilchoman
today unveiled the next limited edition of their
popular exclusively
sherry butt matured annual
release, Kilchoman Loch Gorm
2022.
The 100% sherry butt matured Kilchoman dram takes its
name from Islay’s largest freshwater
loch which neighbours the farm
distillery and it is the only annual
limited edition from the distillery that
is matured entirely in Oloroso sherry
butts.
Year on year the vatting of Loch Gorm
subtly changes (and sometimes not so
subtly), in age, colour and character..
The Kilchoman Loch Gorm 2022 edition was
created using heavily peated 50PPM
spirit which was matured in Oloroso
sherry butts previously used by Bodega
José y Miguel Martín for a minimum of
eight years. The 22 casks that
Kilchoman's whisky makers selected
to create this Loch Gorm 2022 release
were a
combination of 20 fresh and 2 refill
casks.
Anthony Wills, Kilchoman Founder
commented on the the Loch Gorm 2022,
saying: "Having selected casks that
range in age from eight to fourteen
years old, this year’s vatting combines
both the youngest and oldest casks we’ve
selected for recent editions of Loch
Gorm. The freshness of the eight year
old casks combined with the layered
complexity of the older casks gives it a
fantastic balance of rich, fruity
Oloroso influence which pairs
beautifully with the citrus sweetness
and peat smoke of Kilchoman."
Kilchoman Loch Gorm 2022 has been
bottled non chill-filtered and naturally
coloured at 46% ABV and those 22 sherry
casks have produced 17,250 bottles, I
haven't had the chance to taste this one
yet but here is hoping that it is as
good as last years release, a delicious
balance of Kilchoman's earthy peat and
sherry.
Kilchoman Loch Gorm 2022 will be
available from specialist online whisky
retailers such as
The Whisky Exchange,
Hard To Find Whisky
and
Master of Malt
