A great and fun ride through smoked pork, cinnamon spice, wet grass, ash, bacon, nutmeg, ending with some burnt sugar, maple syrup, coastal salt, barnyard hay, damp earth, a hint of wet wool and lovely wafts of campfire smoke. Kilchoman always does a great job. And while this is clearly a younger whisky, 4-6 years if I had to guess, it’s built in a fun and accessible way. The nose starts farmy, sweet, and bacon smoke. Not sharp at all for its young age. And palate oily to carry the flavors. While definitely not a perfect whisky, I don’t think it’s trying to, it’s going for bold, fun, affordable, and delicious. And it hits it on the head.
