Kilchoman 6 Years Old 2016 Rum Cask 70cl 59.1°
Aged in Caroni rum casks during 6 years, this Single Malt offers us a very agricultural aromatic palette, a balance between malted barley and sugar cane, all enhanced by an earthy peat.
This Single Cask is made from malted and peated barley at 50 ppm* by the Port Ellen malting.
Edition limited to 368 bottles.
*PPM - parts per million - of phenolic compounds, measures the impact of oily peat smoke that settles on sprouted barley as it dries. The longer this time, the higher the ppm value. An already well peated Islay whiskey is around 40-50ppm. But let's never forget the particularities of each distillery in terms of the taste of the whisky in the mouth.

First distillery built on Islay, 125 years ago, Kilchoman has been built as a “farm-distillery” and grows its own barley.
About 100 tons are harvested and malted at the distillery, 30% of the distillery’s needs. The rest is supplied by the Port Ellen malt-house. It is also part of the 6 last distilleries operating with traditional malting processes. In 2009, Kilchoman crafted its first recognized Single Malt. Kilchoman is one of the smallest distilleries of Scotland with an annual production of about 100.000 liters.
