Kilchoman Sanaig (2016 Edition)

Delicious, complicated peat.

strong peat, but very smooth.

Not smokey on the nose but very peaty taste. Not one for me.

Cracking open the sample on this one and giving it a nose definitely reminded me of lagavullin 16 which i haven't had in a while. The similarities translate to the palate, a cross between the laga and a bowmore 18 in some ways in terms of flavour profile but thinner and younger. No harshness though. I'm really impressed with this drop given its only 5ish years old. My favourite Kilchoman so far. The distillery founders Anthony and Kathy wills will be attending the NZ dramfest in March next year so I'll make sure to pop along to the special session they are running and sample all their top notch stuff :-). 4.25 at least for this one.
