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.
Alright. I will definitely add this to "The list" haha I can really see how much you love this Buddy! Great find and really cool review my friend! Cheers 🥃🥃😎
Great review Geoff! I might have to search out a bottle of this. I absolutely love the 2023 Fino Matured release. It herbal and the most coastal Kilchoman I’ve had.
That "allo" moment cracked me up. Good review and an interesting whisky. I didn't realise this, and the Fino are 50% ABV. I have the Casado which is 46%. Cheers!
Snagging this up if I see it in the states for sure. I saw it at an auction but didn't want to pay the shipping. Great review! Kilchoman is one of my favorites
I’ve just ordered a bottle of Talisker Parley based off of the strength of your recommendation. Can’t recall trying a brandy matured whisky before so you’ve inspired me. I’ve always liked Talisker so no reason to believe I won’t enjoy it…🤞
@@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.
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.
I definitely want to track down this Kilchomen expression! Wow! I think I’d find this delicious and very interesting! Friends have said it’s complex! That’s what I prefer! Awesome video as always Geoff! I’m in Alberta for a week so I will be hitting the Costco to see if I can score some terrific scotch at AB Costco prices!! I also want to try the Kirkland Islay Peated scotch!! Cheers Geoff!!
This sounds interesting, unfortunately it's not available here anymore. I opted instead for the Fino sherry 2023, which I love and absolutely recommend if you can get it. Good stuff as always, Geoff!🥃
Wad up, Boss G ! Video =10/10 ----------------- Kilcho = 6/10 (I hate it now for never having core AGE bottlings ------- Yr French = priceless ! HUH ? Quoi ?
Thanks for reviewing this indeed interesting whisky, Geoff. Too interesting for me, so it appeared after tasting it. I can judge it to be good whisky, but for me it has some off notes / dissonantes. Might be the grapes again. That being said, I value this way better than the mentioned Sanaig. Slàinte mhath
Hi Geoff 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? J 🇨🇦 (Edmonton)
Hi Geoff, I had to double-check that my playback speed wasn't somehow "elevated". I understand you're trying to not make overlong vids. In nz the price for this whisky ranges ~ukp73-84.
What cask was used for the maturation? You need to include more detail when you are describing the whisky in your videos. Maybe put something in the title to give us a hint.
Love my Loch Lomond 14 year old Glengarry matured in first fill cognac hogsheads!

185 cad in Quebec, gonna have to look for this during my trip to Taipei next month lol
Vive le Québec!
Haha bring an extra luggage. You'll be buying a lot of whisky here. Enjoy the trip! 😉🥃
Been waiting for this a long time, happy you could get your hands on it! Got it last year June for my birthday, what a great whisky.
Sounds fabulous! Complex?! I have to find a bottle!! Peat head here!! Big time!! Love the ashy farmy distillate!!
I love Kilchoman and have been looking for this one. They have so many interesting expressions that it's rare to see the them all in my area
Alright. I will definitely add this to "The list" haha
I can really see how much you love this Buddy!
Great find and really cool review my friend!
Cheers 🥃🥃😎
Cheers buddy! Hope you can find it over there! 🥃
I drunk this during my trip in Scotland and it’s really really delicious stuff! Gotta love it
I've found there is a relation to the color of the label to the taste of the whisky. For Kilchoman expressions.
I've never thought about it, but yeah... 🥃
This is one of my favorite Islay bottles, love the kilchomann house style with the sweetness of the cognac cask
Couldn't agree more! 🥃
2:49 Dude, your humor cracks me up! 😆This particular Kilchoman sounds kind of unusual but also like something worth trying. Thanks for the review!

Thanks Kevin. Yeah I'd like to try the Fino as well. I hear good things, and I'm always a sucker for some coastal flavours. Cheers! 🥃
Hi Geoff, great review.
Cannot agree more with you. This is a great one.
Seeing your bottle you need to go for a backup very soon....
I already got my backup! Appreciate you convincing me to grab it. One of my favourite recent discoveries! 🥃

Great reviews and you are very funny😊! Kilchoman, my favorite Islay whisky. My bottle is still closed.
I also got the Tequila note with the Talisker x Parley. Guess thats a note we get from Cognac barrels?
Wow! Now I got a get a bottle. Thanks Geoff!
Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy it! 🥃
Any time peat is amped up I’m ecstatic!!🤩
Kilchoman just seems to have it figured out. Great breakdown of what sounds like an unusual one. I'll be on the lookout for it ... Cheers!
It's a belter. Cheers buddy! 🥃
Haven’t seen this one yet, but just picked up a Sauternes single cask that is quite good.
Great review Geoff. Sounds like a cracking dram! I definitely need more Kilchoman in my collection! $190AUD in my Australia. Hmmm, might be worth it.
Those Australian prices, man. Ouch! 🥃
Have u tried the Madeira cask already? Beautiful one as well.
Not yet. It's on my to-do list though! 🥃

Yes!! It’s a spectacular store for good scotch Geoff!! Kensington is amazing!! Thanks for the kind wishes!! Having a b last!!!
Would like to try it sounds very interesting. Enjoy!!
Hope you get a chance to try this one. Cheers! 🥃

Hard to say as I've only sampled the Madeira finish. But based off my limited experience with it, I'd probably go for the Cognac myself. Cheers! 🥃
Like you french accent G
Tu parles bien français ?
I speak and understand French well, but it's not as good as it used to be. I haven't lived in Montreal for 15 years. 🥃

Hah I might have had one too many coffees before shooting this video. 🥃
At 185$ CAN at SAQ, that's a pass for me. I will find a friend who knows a friend that might have one ;) Santé!
Ouch! Yeah that's way too much. SAQ strikes again, eh? Santé! 🥃
looking at the bottle level- looks like you've jumped in before ;;; ha ha ,
Maybe once or twice. 😉🥃

Matured in Cognac casks
