Kilchoman: A Legacy of Family and Tradition
Founded in 2005 by Anthony and Kathy Wills, Kilchoman is a true family endeavor that has flourished over the years. Joined by their sons James, George, and Peter, the Wills family has nurtured Kilchoman into a distinguished name in the whisky world.
Crafting Excellence: Maturation and Flavor Profile
Kilchoman embarks on a new chapter in 2024 with the unveiling of BATCH STRENGTH, the latest entrant to their esteemed core range lineup.
Batch Strength undergoes maturation in a unique fusion of re-charred red wine casks, oloroso sherry butts, and bourbon barrels. Following this meticulous process, a touch of water is carefully added post-maturation, resulting in a formidable 57% ABV. The outcome? A whisky of monumental proportions, blending Kilchoman’s signature peat smoke and citrus notes with luscious dark fruits, opulent spices, and delectable salted caramel undertones.
A Symphony of Flavors: The Kilchoman Experience
Batch Strength encapsulates the quintessential essence of Kilchoman whiskies. Expect an invigorating interplay of vibrant peat smoke, zesty citrus sweetness, and a harmonious fusion of fruit and spices. The influence of re-charred red wine casks imparts a profusion of red fruit nuances and caramel richness, elevating the whisky to new heights. At 57% ABV, Batch Strength commands attention with its robust character and commanding presence.
