Kilchoman Inaugural Release 2009

Introducing the Kilchoman 100% Islay Inaugural Edition, an exceptional single malt Scotch whisky that proudly stands as a testament to Kilchoman Distillery's commitment to producing whisky entirely from ingredients sourced on Islay. This edition marked the first in a series dedicated to showcasing the unique terroir of Islay, from barley to bottle.

The Kilchoman 100% Islay Inaugural Edition was distilled, matured, and bottled on-site, using barley grown exclusively on the distillery's farm and malted at their own malting floor. This process ensures an unparalleled level of control and authenticity in the whisky's production. Aged for just over three years in a combination of bourbon barrels, the whisky retains a delicate balance of soft peat smoke with sweet, fruity undertones.

On the nose, this expression offers a light and fresh aroma, with notes of lemon zest, cut grass, and a distinct, clean peatiness that is unmistakably Islay. The palate continues with a harmony of sweet vanilla, malt, and floral hints, underpinned by a smoky backbone that is both refined and complex. The finish is smooth and lingering, with a refreshing clarity that invites another sip.

The Kilchoman 100% Islay Inaugural Edition is presented in a beautifully designed bottle that echoes the simplicity and purity of the spirit within. It is a celebration of Kilchoman's pioneering spirit and dedication to the craft of whisky-making, capturing the essence of Islay in a bottle.

As a limited release, this whisky is a coveted item for collectors and enthusiasts alike, ideal for those seeking to explore the authentic taste of Islay's farm-to-bottle single malt. It represents not just a milestone for Kilchoman, but a bold statement in the world of Scotch whisky.
