KILCHOMAN SINGLE CASK 726/2012 50PPM 55.4% 70CL

THE COMPARISON SERIES This series of single cask was created to showcase the different qualities of single casks within Kilchoman Distillery, and to be savoured side to side to enjoy this experience at its fullest. In this first release they are presenting two Kilchoman Spirits type, 100% Islay and 50ppm, and their development through the same maturation. Single cask 719/2012 and 726/2012 are two 8 years old whiskies, distilled one week apart, both matured in the best quality Bourbon barrels from Buffalo trace distillery, Kentucky. Notably different, these spirit types shine through the bourbon maturation extremely well, showcasing flawlessly the main differences within the two flavour profiles. 726/2012 is made with Port Ellen Malt at 50ppm, which is the main ingredient for their most popular whiskies. Both whiskies went through the same production process, but this ex-Buffalo trace bourbon barrel is distinctive for its intense sweetness and more intense maritime notes. Distilled on the 8.11.12, the spirit characteristics of this cask are the following: Nose: Lemon, citrus and a sweet caramel character developing. Palate: Lemon and citrus with a maritime sweetness. Finish: Round and soft with a wonderfully long finish.
