Day 16. I'm late with these but I ran out of time, today is the first day of my holiday vacation, so I'm going to catch back up.
Kilchoman Port. I kinda expected more from this.
The nose is straight up peat and salt. I get zero fruit or anything along those lines. Thankfully the taste makes up for that, somewhat.
There is a very nice base layer of peat, smothered in honey, strawberries, cherries, and a dash of salt. Still on the sweeter side of things but with enough peat bitterness to not become one sided.
Aftertaste is slightly bitter hones with a bit of fruityness in there. Not too shabby.
It's one of the better Port cask whiskies, but the price is what knocks the rating down a bit. This is almost double the price of the Laphroaig Brodir, and that one is superior in my opinion.
Might go for a glas at a bar, but I doubt I'd spend that kind of cash on a bottle of it.
