Kilchoman 13 Year Old Limited Release Scotch Whisky
Kilchoman’s second age-statement release follows their landmark 16‑year. This 13‑year-old limited edition was matured in a blend of 70 % ex‑bourbon barrels, 20 % bourbon octaves (smaller barrels), and 10 % Calvados casks, bottled at a robust 50 % ABV with no chill filtration and natural color.
🌾 Aromas
Bright and inviting, the nose reveals fresh pineapple, hibiscus, and lemon sherbet, layered with toffee, soft pear, and that classic Islay maritime peat reminiscent of a beach bonfire—with lively coastal smoke seamlessly woven in
👄 Palate & Texture
Full of character and depth, the palate offers:
-
Fresh orchard fruit: stewed pears, crisp green apple, and dried apple granola from Calvados influence
-
Bakery comfort: buttered popcorn, caramelized puffed wheat, and nutty granola
-
Smoky backbone: assertive yet elegant peat, with waves of brine and earthy moss matching the coastal signature
🔚 Finish
The lingering finish delivers malty biscuits, sweet honey and toffee, with bursts of citrus, smoked ash, and warming peat—balanced, persistent, and deeply satisfying
🌟 Why It’s Special
-
Ideal fusion of smoky Islay peat, fruity brightness, and cask complexity (bourbon, octave, Calvados)
-
Second-ever age-statement from Kilchoman — a bold milestone for the farm-distillery
-
Developed by founder Anthony Wills, who highlights the Calvados maturation’s surprise pop of green apple and orchard fruit
🥃 In a Sip
This isn’t just a peaty Islay whisky—it’s a nuanced journey. Crisp fruit, comforting bakery notes, and seaside bonfire smoke meet seamless structure and a smooth 50 % ABV. Ideal neat, with a drop of water, or in a contemplative tasting setting.
In short: Kilchoman’s 13‑Year‑Old Limited Edition strikes a rare balance—maritime peat, orchard-fresh Calvados intrigue, and bourbon-sweet warmth—making it a standout among Islay’s evolving farm-distilled expressions.
