Kilchoman 100% Islay 15th Edition Scotch Whisky 750mL
Kilchoman 100% Islay 15th Edition Scotch Whisky
Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 50% ABV (100 Proof) | 700 mL | Scotland | Aged 9 Years | 100% Islay (Farm Distillery Release) | Ex-Bourbon Cask Matured
Process & Profile
Kilchoman 100% Islay 15th Edition is a true “farm to bottle” Islay single malt—made entirely from barley grown on Islay, then malted, distilled, matured, and bottled at Kilchoman. The 15th Edition is a 9-year-old release, created from a vatting of 54 ex-bourbon barrels distilled from 2014 and 2015 Islay barley harvests (Concerto and Publican).
This edition leans bright and coastal compared to sherry-driven versions—expect clean peat smoke wrapped around vanilla sweetness, citrus, ripe orchard fruit, and a fresh, grassy malt character. Bottled at 50% ABV, it has a richer mouthfeel and a longer finish while staying balanced and highly drinkable.

How to Enjoy
Sip it neat first to catch the vanilla-citrus-peat balance, then add a few drops of water to open more orchard fruit and soften the pepper edge. A single large cube works well if you want a slower, sweeter evolution without losing the coastal smoke.
