Kilchoman STR Cask Matured, 2019 Edition

This STR Cask Matured 2019 Edition has been aged on shaved, toasted and re-charred red wine casks since 2012.

To make this fine single malt whisky, the cask ends are removed from fresh red wine hogsheads and the outer layer of wine is shaved off to expose a combination of lightly soaked and virgin oak.

These inner layers are then toasted using oak chips to caramelise the virgin oak sugars and vanillins.

Finally the casks are re-charred to maximise flavour extraction.

Tasting Notes:
Nose: summer fruits with a hearty measure of cinnamon spice, toffee and gentle peat smoke.

Palate: soft caramel at first with layers of red berries, lemon tart and earthy peat smoke.

Finish: long with a pronounced spice, honey and caramel notes.
