Commenting on the launch, Anthony Wills, Kilchoman Founder,
said: “Kilchoman really lends itself to maturation in fortified wine casks. The
rich fruity character of the casks balances nicely with the creamy citrus
sweetness of our new spirit. My preference when using wine casks has always
been to use fresh first fill barrels with a view to bottling the whisky
relatively young. This approach means the lighter clean flavours and fresh
maritime peat smoke aren’t overwhelmed by the cask influence.”
Kilchoman Madeira Cask Matured, will be available from March
2nd, through specialist retailers, for a RRP of £77.05.
