Kilchoman Casado 2022 Edition
Islay Single Malt Scotch WhiskyĀ
Distillery Bottling 70cl / 46%Ā
Introduced in winter 2022, Kilchoman Casado was made by taking 38 casks of 6-year-old bourbon-matured Kilchoman and marrying them in two large vats that previously held Portuguese red wine. Casado, incidentally, is aĀ Portuguese word meaning 'married'.
Kilchoman Casado was made with Kilchoman's standard 50ppm heavily-peated spirit distilled in 2014 and was bottled at 46% without colouring or chill filtration. Portuguese red wineĀ is pretty robust, so despiteĀ large vats giving less wood contact than individual wine casksĀ there'sĀ a marked cooked red fruit character alongside Kilchoman's trademark dry, peatsmoke bonfire notes.

Tasting Notes
Official Tasting Notes
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:Ā 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:Ā A long finish which brings a hot, spicy character. Stewed, cooked fruit notes bring a sweet-jam profile providing an on-going sweetness that the classic Kilchoman smoke balances beautifully.
