Description
Kilchoman 100% Islay The 13th Edition 2023 Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a characterful bottling from the Kilchoman Distillery and exemplifies the distillery's consistent single farm single malt approach. This Islay single malt Scotch whisky was distilled from Islay-grown barley, which was grown on the distillery's own fields in 2012, 2013 and 2014. The whisky was then matured for at least 8 years before 44 ex-bourbon barrels were selected for the bottling of the 13th Edition 2023. The selection includes casks from three different maturation ages, with the youngest cask being eight years old. This edition was bottled at 50% vol. without chill filtration and without colorant, which clearly preserves the original character.
It is particularly noteworthy that this 100% Islay Edition is the first bottling since 2019 to be matured exclusively in bourbon casks. The focus on predominantly fresh bourbon casks gives the whisky a distinctive structure and underlines Kilchoman's clear, agricultural style. From the barley field to malting, distillation, maturation and bottling, this 100% Islay whisky remains entirely on the island and only leaves Islay as a finished bottling. The Kilchoman 100% Islay 13th Edition 2023 is supplied in a high-quality gift box, which also positions it as a collector's edition within the Kilchoman range.

The Kilchoman 100% Islay The 13th Edition 2023 is ideal for pure enjoyment, especially when the focus is on clarity, origin and cask character. This bourbon cask-matured Islay whisky is particularly harmonious with grilled fish, scallops or white meat such as poultry, where the citrus freshness and creamy bourbon cask notes are harmoniously integrated. This bottling also comes into its own with mildly matured cheeses or fine desserts based on vanilla and caramel. As an authentic representative of the 100% Islay philosophy, this edition offers a long-lasting, honest and terroir-influenced enjoyment experience. (automated translation)
