Kilchoman 16 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky - 70cl
Kilchoman was founded in 2005 at Rockside Farm on the western shore of Islay β the most westerly distillery on the island, exposed to the full force of the Atlantic β and remains the only distillery in Scotland to grow a proportion of its own barley and perform all stages of production from field to bottle on a single farm site. The 16 Year Old represents the oldest expression Kilchoman has ever released β and given that the distillery only opened in 2005, every expression over ten years old is a genuinely rare and historically significant bottling. Bottled at natural cask strength, non-chill filtered, the 16 Year Old demonstrates with extraordinary clarity what sixteen years of Islay farm distillery maturation achieves: the characteristic sweet peat now deeper, richer, and more integrated; the fruit more concentrated; the spice warmer; and the whole possessing a gravitas and depth deeply impressive for a distillery this young. Available to buy online in Singapore from The Liquid Collection β extremely limited allocation.
