Tasting Notes
Kilchoman 11 Year Old 2012 - Founders Cask Release is a remarkable whisky that encapsulates the spirit of Islay distillery's family-run business. This expression is a culmination of the Founders Cask series, meticulously crafted by Peter Wills, the youngest of founder Anthony Wills' children. The whisky's journey begins with an initial maturation of over nine years in distinct bourbon barrels, imparting rich vanilla and oak notes. Subsequently, it undergoes a finishing period of two years in a 400-litre calvados cask, infusing the spirit with enticing apple and spice flavors. Bottled at a robust 54.8% ABV, this limited-edition release of 517 bottles showcases the distillery's commitment to preserving the natural character of the whisky, without added coloring or chill-filtration. A true celebration of Kilchoman's heritage and craftsmanship, this whisky promises a remarkable sensory experience for connoisseurs.
