    Of course, Islay is full of amazing distilleries, but Kilchoman is numero uno to me. Never had a bad dram from them. And you will be happy to know, Daniel, that recent Madeira casks are phenomenal!

    Bought the last cognac matured bottle here in sweden. Along with the px matured and the fino sherry one. I love kilchoman. To bad its so expensive here in Sweden. Glad you reviewed it and had a chance to try it out.

      Tried this for the first time last night and I agree; it’s an unusual one but very well-made and enjoyable. I tried the pX-matured release as well, which is also excellent, though less oddball than this one.
      Anthony Wills has been focusing more on the “experimental” cask maturation so I think we can expect more releases like this from Kilchoman.

      @@Gwhisky I’ve just tried a neck pour and have enjoyed. A mix between highland and island style for me.
      The nose has that sweet tropical highland note, but on the palate, whilst the tropical highland sweetness comes through, there’s also that saltiness and black pepper spice you get with an island malt.
      My first impression is that I’m intrigued and want to spend more time exploring it, but pleased with the purchase.
      Thanks for the recommendation. 👍🙂🥃

    Yep , full time maturation rocks, forget the wimsy cask finishes.
    Better to let the stuff rest and then maby Vat some casks later on.
    Generaly Kilchoman botlings tend to get better each year. I got a Loch Gorm opened on the shelf [2024 edition ] and if you are into peat and full time sherry maturation you dont have to look further.
    Their cognac expression is on my wish list now.
    Thanks for an always onest, funny, informing and cosy rewiev.

    I’m torn. Would you recommend this Cognac finish or the Madera finish? The Madera is more pricy. I see only one in my area but there a few more of the Cognac, which probably won’t last long. Thoughts?
