The 100% Islay 14th Edition was distilled from our 2013 and 2014 barley harvests before being matured in selected bourbon and oloroso sherry casks for a minimum of 9 years. The combination of bourbon and sherry cask maturation has created layers of vanilla, butter- scotch and rich fruity character that balance beautifully with the natural citrus sweetness and floral peat smoke of our 100% Islay spirit. “Our 100% Islay releases are the culminations of efforts made at each stage of the process, from sowing the barley back in 2013 and 2014, through harvesting, malting, distilling, maturating and bottling, all done on-site here at Kilchoman. This year we selected a combination of bourbon and sherry cask maturation. In my eyes, the contrasting influence creates a lovely balance of richness and light floral character”
