Blind tasting
Nose: light smoke, oak. Lagavulin
Taste: sweet and smoke, nice balance. But if a medicinal finish. Wouldn’t turn down a bottle but would be more of a fallback option.
Wood: European oak
Distillery?
Nose: peat, smoke, earth, leather, meat, dark fruit
Taste: concentrated flavor, smoke, earth, salinity, tobacco and sweetness. Very oily
Finish: long, rich and spicy and Smokey finish
Wow, what a dram. Very good, the best I have tasted from Kilchoman. I love the sherries Islays, and this does not disappoint.

This is a solid sherried islay. Nose is smoky peat with a bit of a funk reminiscent of an old leather recliner. Bit of brine comes through as well and is continued into the taste. Rich dark fruits, slight spicy bitterness and trademark islay salty peat. A bit like the sanaig but slightly more subtle.
Nose: Islay malt, smoky phenols and woody on the nose. Bit of must. Leather.
Taste: salty, smoke from burning embers. Subtle sweetness and dark fruits in the aftertaste. Somewhat bitter and lemony in the development.
