Kilchoman Sauternes Cask Finish is a limited edition release available beginning October 2018. Unlike other wine cask releases from Kilchoman, this one only spends its last five months maturing Sauternes hogsheads rather than being fully matured in them. The single malt for this bottling was distilled in 2012 and initially matured in ex-bourbon barrels before finishing in the French white dessert wine barrels.

Tasting Notes

"Beyond the Islay smoke, there's some intriguing savory elements here - salty umeboshi plums, smoked fish and smoldering sandalwood, as well as the curious emergence of banana fingers and vanilla sheet cake. In the mouth the smoke is tinged with red currants, tar, and cigar ash, and some residual Sauternes sweetness."
