Kilchoman Distillery on Islay is one of Scotland’s most authentic and independent distilleries. Founded in 2005 as a true farm distillery, Kilchoman manages the entire whisky-making process — from growing its own barley to malting, distilling, maturing, and bottling on-site. This close connection between land and craft results in whiskies that express the true spirit of Islay’s rugged landscape.
Kilchoman Fino Sherry Cask Matured is a special release showcasing how Kilchoman’s smoky spirit pairs beautifully with the dry, elegant influence of fino sherry casks. The whisky has been fully matured in first-fill fino sherry casks sourced from Jerez, Spain, creating a unique harmony between maritime peat smoke and the delicate, nutty freshness of fino.
On the nose, it offers gentle peat smoke, sea breeze, roasted almonds, citrus, and green apple. The palate is dry yet rich, with layers of toasted oak, vanilla, sea salt, and a hint of mineral sweetness. The finish is long, clean, and subtly smoky, leaving a crisp, balanced impression.
This expression highlights Kilchoman’s refined and elegant side — a whisky of finesse, freshness, and depth. It’s ideal for those who appreciate Islay’s signature peat, but in a more nuanced, delicate style shaped by the distinctive character of fino sherry.
