Kilchoman Sanaig (2016 Edition)

the nose is a nice Sherry, brine, and lemon. a bit of water adds floral notes that are heavy but nice. the taste is heavy peat smoke and Earth. the Sherry adds nice spice leather and sweetness. very good

Of an inviting golden color (100% natural), the sherried influence on the nose is immediately perceived in the ripe fruit arm in arm with vanilla, with a very subtle and elegant peated layer. To let it breathe (do not be greedy and wait a little, come on!), there is also a pinch of medicine, and the peaty side seems more herbaceous than scorched. Overall full and pleasant aroma, without any invasiveness from the alcohol. In fact, now that it can finally be drunk, the alcohol is still dome, and instead comes a discreet component of orange to add to the same fruity and herbaceous scents of the sense of smell, with smoking more present than on the nose. Still the medicinal note, but more saline, with the delicious island oceanic component. The sweetness of the sherry does not elbow and is forced to coexist with the other aromas, so much so that at times you can even perceive a bitterish tip. Not exactly very balanced, perhaps too young to be more compact and coherent, but drinking on the whole is pleasant, and leaves in the final peat and salinity to accompany the memory for a fairly long time.
