Kilchoman 2010 Vintage (Bottled 2019) – Limited Release – 48%

Kilchoman 2010 Vintage (2019 bottling) is a limited-edition, age-specific release from Kilchoman Distillery. This edition features whisky distilled in 2010 and then matured for nine years in carefully selected bourbon barrels, supplemented by a limited number of sherry casks. The result is a mature, rich, and perfectly balanced Islay single malt with the typical smoky distillery profile, but with more depth and complexity than younger expressions.
