Kilchoman Am Bùrach (2020 Edition)

Single Malt — Islay, Scotland

Reviewed July 25, 2020 (edited December 1, 2020)
3.25
3.25 out of 5 stars
(Good Spirits Company, Glasgow. Virtual Whisky Tasting Saturday 25th July 2020). Nose: Smoky bacon, campfire. A very light hint of berries and cream, although you have to search for this on the nose. It's more of a glance after you've sniffed the glass. Palate: Frazzles crisps (?), burnt toast, caramelised apples and kids sweeties (the cheap penny tray kind!) Finish: Port really comes out in the finish, still peaty and a little salty. This is a bit of a mongrel, as you taste it you keep picking out more layers and different tastes - all of which are nicely layered. It has the peat and salt all through and this adds to the character of the whisky to keep it interesting. Water kills the taste completely. It dulls almost all of the layers and just leaves the peat and campfire notes. Out of the 6 drams on the tasting, this achieved 25% of the vote for favourite which made it joint first place, but the common consensus was that all 6 were really too close to call.

    Haha, a mongrel it is! I like how they were like "whoops, I guess we'd better age it for another 9 years"!
