Kilchoman Sanaig Single Malt Scotch Whisky

A handsome release from Islay's newest distillery, Kilchoman Sanaig is an enjoyably peaty single malt which has been vatted from both bourbon and Sherry casks. It's named after a small, rocky creek rather near the distillery on the west coast of the island. Look out for plenty of fruit and earthy peat coming through on this one, with a touch of dark chocolate-covered raisins.

Tasting Notes

On the nose, pineapple chunks and white grapes. Hints of fresh coffee carry the earthy, subtly spicy peat. Toffee cubes. More light fruits (this time of the peach variety) on the palate, with dark chocolate raisins and a whisper of red berries. Peat grows and grows, with a little black pepper too. Quite a long finish with coastal peat lasting.
