Tasting Notes
"Port casks have a knack for heavily influencing whisky. This new edition from Kilchoman can certainly back up that statement. The aroma is loaded with tart red fruit and cherry syrup. Wood smoke and peat barely manage to elbow their way in. The palate is sweet and savory…but mostly sweet. Cherry juice, peat smoke, sugar cookies, barrel char, and port-soaked fruits. This isn’t high-proof port but it’s not terribly far from it either."
