Description
The Kilchoman Fino Sherry Cask Matured Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is an exceptional limited edition from the Kilchoman Distillery and is the first bottling from the distillery available worldwide that has been matured entirely in fino sherry casks. For this edition, the whisky was stored in 12 fino sherry butts for the entire maturation period, including 11 first fill casks and 1 refill butt, which were previously used by Bodega Miguel Martin in Spain. This strictly limited bottling was bottled at 50% vol. without chill filtration and without colorant. This edition is limited to just 10,500 bottles worldwide and thus occupies a special position within Kilchoman's experimental cask series.
In contrast to the classic Oloroso sherry maturations that are regularly used in Kilchoman's Core Range, Fino Sherry introduces a significantly drier and more saline style. This type of cask gives the Kilchoman Fino Sherry Cask Matured a fresh, precise structure and adds new facets to the typical Islay character. Fruity freshness, maritime hints and the clear smokiness of the distillate come to the fore without losing any of its depth. This bottling is part of a series of innovative full maturations in which Kilchoman has already experimented with port, Madeira, Sauternes, red wine and STR casks. This edition is supplied in a high-quality gift box, making it particularly relevant for collectors.

The Kilchoman Fino Sherry Cask Matured is ideal for pure enjoyment and develops its special characteristics particularly well with a little time in the glass. This fino cask matured Islay whisky harmonizes excellently with seafood, oysters, grilled fish or fine starters with a salty flavour, as the dry freshness and maritime structure are ideally absorbed. It also creates an exciting interplay with mildly matured goat's cheese or light Mediterranean dishes. As an innovative Kilchoman Limited Edition, this bottling offers a long-lasting, fresh and at the same time complex Islay experience with a clearly recognizable cask character.
