After the rather superb Kilchoman tasting in Herning earlier this year, I knew I had to get my hands on some SC CS Kilchoman. www.whiskysamples.eu provided me that.
Kilchoman 4yo 2007-2012 60.9% OB for the Nectar Belgium cask#390
There's quite enough of Kilchoman single casks around these days, thankfully they deliver little to blending, if not their stock would be very short. This one comes from a bourbon cask. the color is light golden. It smells of peat smoke, peppery, burnt, oaky, vanilla, sweet, wheat, gruff, earthy, burnt clay, heather, pretty young and raw, I believe this one could've done good with a couple more years on oak. The taste is peppery, bitter, very strong, raw, close to new-make. Time to add some water. Now it turns vanilla, peppery, spirity, just too young, a bit too raw and underdeveloped for me. Please, if you like your Supernovas and Octomores, this could be the one for you, but for me it surely isn't.
Raw and spirity Kilchoman: 2
Next tasting: Fettercairn Distillery
