Kilchoman Casado 2022 Release Single Malt Whisky

Introducing the Kilchoman Casado (Portuguese for marriage). This is a limited edition bottling which was matured in fresh bourbon barrels for 6 years before 38 casks were selected and married together for 2 years in two 6,000 litre Portuguese red wine vats.

“The red wine marriage gives the whisky layers of red fruit and spices which complement the vanilla and butterscotch influence of the bourbon barrels beautifully.” - ANTHONY WILLS, KILCHOMAN FOUNDER

ABV: 46.0%

Age: No Age Statement

Limited Edition: Yes

Nose: An opening note of intense campfire
smoke balanced with ripe summer stone
fruits; peach, plum and cherry. Deep notes
of marzipan become the focus combined
with layered maritime notes.
Palate: The red wine vatting brings
pepper and spice on the first taste. Dry,
salty peat smoke sits on the palate, yet
fruit notes of apricot and lemon find
their way through.
Finish: A long finish which brings a
hot, spicy character from the marriage
in Portuguese red wine vats. Stewed,
cooked fruit notes bring a sweet-jam
profile providing an on-going sweetness
that the classic Kilchoman smoke
balances beautifully.
