Kilchoman Marsala Cask Release NZ Exclusive
$175.00
This limited single cask release is exclusive to New Zealand. Drawn from Cask #882, the whisky spent five years maturing in an ex-bourbon barrel, followed by over a year’s finishing in a Marsala wine cask.
To start, the aroma carries sweet tones of juicy, oven-roasted fruits and charred caramel tart, with a sweet and sour fruit jelly. The peat smoke comes through dense and thick (especially with water added), reminiscent of a wood-fired BBQ on the seashore, with grilled seafood skewers and a salty, coastal dryness. A lifting citrus note of home-made lemonade comes through in the finish, with the peat leaving a long-lasting, smouldering, earthen smokiness behind.
A rare and characterful Islay single malt that beautifully balances sweetness, smoke, and maritime influence.
