“Wow!” That was my first expression. I was skeptical going into this bottle, but all my doubts have been cleared; this is one amazing whisky. Kilchoman being the youngest and newest Islay Distillery made me think their inexperience and young whisky could not match the competition, but I was wrong. Kilchoman now rests with great trust and appreciation from me. I can not wait to try the rest of what they have to offer. Truly, stunningly wonderful.
Nose: Sherry, raisins, peaches, citrus, slight strawberry, slight oak and the peat creeping behind
Palate: Briny, peat, smoke, sherry, peaches, cherry, sugar sweet, slight oak, and the peat builds.
Finish: Briny, sherry, peat, smoke, peaches, fruity sweet, and slight malt
Beautiful, complex flavor. Everything blends together in a beautiful harmony. The classic flavors of a young, fruited whisky blends with the classic Islay taste make for an unforgettable composition.

@cascode Very true. In-fact gives us a new variety of different and unique flavors to try instead of the reliant, prototyped distilleries. Truly amazing work and job.
I've been highly impressed by the standard of spirits coming from the new generation of Scottish distilleries. Most have had the good sense to employ an experienced old-hand master distiller to create a style of whisky for them that drinks well when young, and it has really paid off for them.
