Kilchoman 2007

Lot's of burnt hay with a bit of salt and vinegar chips, one of the weaker kilchomans unfortunately. Peat is very dominant and it seems a bit young and unbalanced.

The flavor profile is entirely distinct from the previous one. Here, we discover a dram characterized by notes of meat, pepper, and salt, which blend harmoniously before giving way to Kilchoman’s signature touch—woody ash. An enjoyable whisky that stays true to the spirit of the Triskel distillery’s production.

Re-tasting after approx. 8 years: The first thing that hits the nose is the alcohol. It gets salty behind the smoke. Subtle sweet. A decent pinch of white pepper. Lemon peel. All relatively superficial. A little water doesn't really open it anymore either. Only a light vanilla and fresh sage note joins it. I like it a little better on the tongue (diluted, it's too strong on its own). He gets spicy. Burnt cloves. Some cinnamon. The vanilla note becomes stronger. The lemon remains, otherwise there are few fruity notes. Everything is still very one-dimensional. The depth is missing here. Departure slightly sweet, cold smoke. Now you can really see his youth. Seems a bit metallically bitter. Somehow a grassy, green note remains. Not remembered. I can confirm my rating from 2015. Nothing has changed about it.

To be honest, I can't really understand my last rating, this time not nearly as good, quite simply, you can still tell the youth a bit

Pretty basic, nothing much to rave.

+ H2O: not new, but the flavors are very good 28.01.2017 84
