Kilchoman Loch Gorm 2018 Release (70cl, 46%)
The well-established Loch Gorm release, exclusively sherry matured limited edition has been a feature of the Kilchoman range since 2012.
This is the 2018 release of the hugely popular Loch Gorm from Kilchoman. Containing some of the oldest sherry casks ever filled at Kilchoman it is a vatting of nineteen Oloroso sherry butts filled in 2007, 2008 and 2011, before being bottled in Spring 2018. Limited to 15,000 bottles.
Opened in 2005, Kilchoman was the first new distillery to be built on Islay for 124 years. Its proprietors are the Wills family, and the distillery saw a return of the practice of “farm distilling” to the island, with its own barely fields, malt floors and kilns. Today around 25% of its barley requirement is self-fulfilled, and in 2011 they bottled their first 100% Islay release of single farm, single malt. The distillery’s first release came in 2009, and it has cemented a fine reputation ever since.
