Kilchoman is an interesting beast in the landscape of peated scotch whisky. Often, peated drams from Islay tend to be more similar than they are distinct. Give me glasses containing Bowmore, Caol Ila, and Ardbeg and I have about a 30% chance of identifying each. In fact, I’ll probably second-guess myself into the wrong answer. Put Kilchoman into a fourth glass, and I’ll probably guess it right. Nobody else makes such clean, crisp, restrained, elegant peated malt.
For these releases, Kilchoman actually takes a batch of Machir Bay and vats it with a wine-matured cask (port, Madeira, etc.). The fourth batch of Kilchoman’s USA Small Batch was vatted from casks at a proportion of 5% oloroso sherry, 30% Madeira, and the remainder (65%) ex-bourbon. This release was bottled in 2021 at 48.1% ABV.
