Tasting Notes
Kilchoman Sanaig is a captivating single malt whisky that beckons you to embark on a sensory journey. The nose unveils a delightful harmony of pineapple chunks and white grapes, intertwined with hints of freshly brewed coffee, imparting a subtle earthy and spicy peat aroma. As you take a sip, your palate is enveloped by a symphony of light fruit flavors, reminiscent of juicy peaches, complemented by the indulgent notes of dark chocolate raisins and a whisper of tangy red berries. The peat steadily intensifies, leaving a lingering warmth with a hint of black pepper. The finish is remarkably long, allowing the coastal peat to linger, transporting you to the rugged shores of Islay. This handsome release from Kilchoman, Islay's newest distillery, is a vatting of both bourbon and sherry casks, aptly named after a nearby rocky creek on the island's west coast. It's a delightful expression that strikes a perfect balance between fruity delights and the iconic Islay peat character.
