New on the German market: Kilchoman Portuguese Brandy Finish 1029/2015 for Whisky.de
The first two Kilchoman Brandy Cask Finishes appeared at the end of 2024, with a bottling named ‘Sabores’ for the Dutch online spirits retailer drankdozijn (D12) and a cask that the winner of the first Kilchoman Shake the Farm competition, Alex Holms, was allowed to choose for the British market.
Now another Single Cask bottling has been announced for Whisky.de, Germany’s largest whisky retailer.
The whisky, which is one year older than the two previous releases at 9 years old, was first matured for seven and a half years in a bourbon barrel and then finished for a further 17 months in a Portuguese Brandy cask. The finish gives the whisky fruity notes of raisins and plums, which harmonise with tobacco and citrus aromas. The smoky accents are provided by the malted barley with a peat content of 50 ppm. A balanced finish with long-lasting peat smoke perfectly rounds off the whisky.
The bottles can be pre-ordered online from Whisky.de for €108.50 (€103.08 for club members).
