Bottled at 57.8% ABV without dilution or chill filtration, the 2024 release of Kilchoman Sanaig Cask Strength presents this Islay single malt in its most concentrated form. Nothing has been stripped away, so the peat smoke, seaweed and iodine notes central to the distillery's style arrive with full force.
Beneath the smoke there is structure: maritime minerality, a thread of citrus and a warming spice finish that keeps the higher strength in balance. It is a 700 ml bottling made to be taken slowly, with each return to the glass revealing another layer.
Kilchoman is the smallest distillery on Islay, focused on heavily peated single malts shaped by the island's rugged landscape and coastal air. Traditional production methods and full-flavored spirit guide everything the distillery makes.
