Kilchoman Batch Strength Islay Single Malt 0.7l 57%

< cite index="37-1">Batch Strength stands apart within the Kilchoman core range as a powerful, high-ABV expression, offering the distillery’s signature style with additional weight and intensity. It is matured in a combination of re-charred red wine casks, oloroso sherry butts and bourbon barrels, with a few drops of water added post-maturation to bring the batch to 57%. < cite index="31-1">The approach allows each release to be bottled at a consistent 57% even as the natural cask strength varies from batch to batch.

< cite index="37-1">The result combines the natural peat smoke and citrus character of Kilchoman with dark fruits, rich spices and salted caramel sweetness. All the traits of a classic Kilchoman are present — fresh, vibrant peat smoke, citrus sweetness and a balance of fruit and spice — while the influence of the re-charred red wine casks brings an abundance of red fruits and caramel, and the strength gives it a weight and power that makes you stand up and take notice. < cite index="31-1">Bottled without chill-filtration and in its natural colour.
