2010

About

Kilchoman's 2010 Vintage represents a refined expression from this Islay farm distillery, where smoke and peat are elegantly balanced with subtle fruity character. With modest peating around 20 ppm, this whisky achieves an approachable yet distinctive identity. The nose is surprisingly clean and refined for an Islay malt, with citrus notes and hints of blueberry shining through the peat smoke. On the palate, a pleasant interplay of vanilla, honey, and spice unfolds, supported by peaty undertones that remain present without overwhelming the other flavors. The texture is warm and soft, with peat and smoke clearly evident yet allowing the complementary notes to shine. The finish is remarkably long and well-balanced, with peppery notes and maritime character providing a satisfying conclusion. This whisky appeals to those seeking Islay's distinctive character without extreme intensity.
