Kilchoman Marsala Single Cask lslay Single Malt 57.6% 700ml - NZ Exclusive

Kilchoman Marsala Single Cask Islay Single Malt 57.6% 700ml - New Zealand Exclusive 

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 sea shore, 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, leaving a smouldering, earthen smokyness behind.

A rare and characterful Islay single malt that beautifully balances sweetness, smoke, and maritime influence.
