Kilchoman Casado (2022)
Kilchoman Casado 2022 – Limited Edition – 46%
Kilchoman Casado 2022 is a unique limited edition, first matured in classic bourbon barrels and then given a second maturation in two massive 6,000-liter Portuguese red wine casks . The word Casado means "married," a reference to the marriage of these casks to create a distinctly rich, fruity, and smoky Islay whisky. This release was quickly snapped up worldwide and is now harder to find.

Character
Casado 2022 combines Kilchoman's classic bourbon-fresh style with the deep, fruity richness of large red wine casks. The result is a perfectly balanced whisky that blends smoke, fruitiness, and sweetness in a modern, expressive Islay style. A striking release that deviates significantly from the traditional series.
