Kilchoman PX Sherry Cask Matured [700ML]

Description

Looking for an Islay single malt that perfectly balances maritime peat smoke with luxurious sherry sweetness?

Kilchoman PX Sherry Cask Matured represents a masterful marriage of Scotland’s youngest farm distillery with Spain’s finest Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. This limited edition expression showcases how traditional Islay peat character transforms when nurtured in sweet sherry wood from Bodega Jose y Miguel Martin in Jerez. Unlike heavily sherried expressions like Kavalan Oloroso Sherry Oak or Bushmills Sherry Cask Reserve, Kilchoman maintains its distinctive maritime smokiness while gaining incredible depth.
