Named after the famously dark, peaty loch overlooked by the distillery, our annual Loch Gorm limited edition is our only regular expression matured entirely in oloroso sherry casks.
For the 2023 Edition Anthony and Robin selected a total of 22 casks, 8 distilled in 2013, 6 distilled in 2014, and 8 distilled in 2015. Each cask was chosen for its unique flavour profile which, when combined together with the other 21 casks, create a beautiful balance of rich fruity character with layers of classic Kilchoman peat smoke and citrus sweetness.
Nose: Hints of cacao with an essence of leather, black cherry and light smoke. Palate: Roasted hazelnuts, dark chocolate and roasted dark fruits give way to light ashy peat smoke. Finish: Balanced and long with fresh Islay sea breeze. (Tasting Note from Distillery)
