The Islay based Kilchoman Distillery has announced the launch of a new limited-edition age-stated release.

Kilchoman 13 Year Old (50% ABV) is a peated single malt Scotch whisky, which was matured in a combination of Bourbon barrels, Octaves and Calvados casks. 

This latest release, is said to exude an abundance of juicy fresh fruits, intense sweetness and waves of Islay maritime peat smoke.

Kilchoman is a family run farm distillery based on the rugged west coast of Islay, Scotland. The distillery was established by Anthony Wills in 2005. The idea was to build a new distillery which took whisky production back to its grass roots.

Commenting on the launch, Anthony Willis, said: “After the overwhelming response to our 16 Year Old, I’m excited to announce the release of another age statement Kilchoman – The 13 Years Old.  The ex-bourbon casks make up the large part of the vatting, lending that unmistakable Kilchoman character, while the addition of calvados casks, which may surprise a few people, infuses vibrant green apple and fresh fruit notes into the mix. Although our older stocks remain limited, we’re excited to share a variety of aged Kilchoman expressions with you over the next few years.”

Kilchoman 13 Year Old, will be available later this month from specialist retailers, for a RRP of £85.00.
