Kilchoman Loch Gorm 2021 EditionIslay Single Malt Scotch WhiskyDistillery Bottling 70cl 46% The marriage of strongly peated spirit and sherry casks doesn't always run smoothly, but Kilchoman somehow always seem to get it right. Here's the 2021 edition of Kilchoman Loch Gorm, a batch of two dozen oloroso sherry casks filled in 2011 and 2012 and bottled at 46% after a minimum of 9 years maturation. The evolution of Loch Gorm has been fascinating, with the age of the vatting casks

probably just before or immediately after the Royal Warrant was awarded in 1993

A very clean example of Port Ellen 1979 from Gordon & MacPhail under their Connoisseurs Choice map label series
