February 18, 2017 at The Irish Heather Gastropub. Actually we tried (not listed on this app) the Kilchoman ‘Sauternes’ 2016. $35/dram in house Kilchoman is a small farm distillery on Islam and is one of the newest In Scotland having been founded in 2008 yet it’s already winning awards. Hot on the heels of a sought after ‘club bottling’ in 2015 - they released this - their first general release of a Sauternes cask matured whiskey. Sauternes is a limited production French sweet wine produced in Bordeaux from white grapes with a higher sugar concentration do you to naturally occurring Noble rot

February 18, 2017 at The Irish Heather Gastropub actually the rare (not listed on this app) 18 year. Only 597 bottles made. We loved it and purchased bottles 136 & 137. $35/dram in house From cask #10300 in a limited run of only 597 bottles, this particular BenRiach offering only available in BC and Alberta absolutely resounds with the influence of port at a hefty strength of 54.2%. Port is a fortified wine made in Portugal where fermentation is stopped preserving natural sugars. Distilled in 1998 and bottled in 2016, this part of BenRiach’s expansive wood experimentation under master distiller Billy Walker

Smooth, briny and spicy. I don’t taste smoke nor did it taste oily. Enjoyable. Has a pinch. One drop of water helped space out the compressed flavours.
