Character
The Loch Gorm 2015 has a distinctly classic Islay profile: robust smoke, rich sherry, deep sweetness, and a robust, old-fashioned character. Compared to later editions, this release is darker, heavier, and fuller , making it particularly popular with collectors and aficionados of powerful sherry bombs.

-
Early Loch Gorm release (phase when Kilchoman was much smaller)
-
Low mintage and very hard to find in top condition
-
Fully sherry matured, always sought after

Strong reputation for its rich, dark style
