Bottling Notes
We were really looking forward to this release as there aren’t too many Scottish whiskies aged
full-term in Cognac casks, especially in 300L barriques from Tonnellerie Bossuet. Thirty-one Cognac vessels were filled with 50ppm delicately peated new-make spirit and then aged for a minimum of 6 years resulting in a beautifully complex whisky that tick all the boxes. Like all Kilchoman expressions, the whisky in non-chill-filtered and with no added colour!
Anthony Wills, head distiller comments:
“There is a delicate balance to be found when working with Cognac casks; keeping the age of this release at a minimum of six years old ensures the flavours from the spirit and the cask are easily detected, neither dominates.”
