Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы описывают дымный шерри-виски с красными фруктами, йодом, морской солью и пеплом, где пепельно-дымный характер сочетается с шерри-сладостью, но встречаются и критические замечания о коротком или неприятном послевкусии и высокой цене.
развернуть подробно
В отзывах нос чаще всего описывают как сочетание дыма и шерри: красные фрукты и ягоды, изюм, йод, морская соль, сажистый пепел, копчёное мясо, бекон, тёмный шоколад и кофе, иногда лекарственный торф, свежий морской воздух, зелёные яблоки, табак и кожа. На вкус отмечают красные фрукты и шерри без излишней сладости, торф, древесные специи, шоколад, эспрессо, карамель, цитрусы, морскую соль, специи (мускат, имбирь, перец), а также мёд и йод. Финиш описывают по-разному: от средней длины с гвоздикой и белым перцем, дымом, кофе, нуга и марципаном до довольно длинного и мощного с углём, шоколадом, кофе, лакрицей и солью; в части отзывов финиш назван коротким, плоским или водянистым, а один отзыв упоминает неприятное послевкусие.
Общий тон отзывов скорее положительный: виски хвалят за качество торфа и шерри, комплексность, баланс и то, что древесина не доминирует, хотя некоторые считают его менее удачным, чем другие Kilchoman, и почти все, кто говорит о цене, называют её слишком высокой для 14-летнего виски. Несколько отзывов отмечают, что шерри выражен слабо или что напиток кажется одновременно зрелым и немного молодым, а также что он лучше раскрывается при дегустации отдельно, без сравнения с другими образцами.

Red fruits and berries appear first on the nose, followed by iodine, sea salt and sooty ash. Light cocoa in the background. On the palate, more red fruits and sherry but it’s not overly sweet. A good punch of peat and woody spice follows. Finish fades to a clove and white pepper.

It's a good thing I tried it a second time (after yesterday). And this time, without having had the Kilchoman 14yo Ex-Bourbon 20th Anniversary in my glass beforehand. Tasted on its own, it performs better; the flavors seem more complex and better balanced.

| Нос | 88 | Raisins, red currants, the all-pervading peat smoke note, spicy bacon, marinated grilled meat, some spices (grated nutmeg, chervil, a little allspice), later dark and bitter chocolate, espresso beans. |
| Вкус | 88 | Spiced berries, pepper, dry oak, warm and bacony peat smoke, which is much more pronounced than I would expect from a 14-year-old Kilchoman. Dark chocolate, grated almonds, pecans, blackberries, blueberries, blackcurrants. |
| Финиш | 87 | Medium-long and fruity finish, very tart and spicy, cold coffee, nougat, marzipan, the peat smoke note still very clearly discernible. |
Pleasant smoke, leathery notes, and succulent ham. The alcohol is well-integrated yet still robust and full-bodied. Relatively short finish.
If I had to choose between this and the 14yo bourbon version, I would choose this one! The sherry in this one is more...

Mestre, March 25, 2026. I tasted the third of four Kilchoman samples purchased on deliawhisky.de. Color: amber. Good, a classic Oloroso matured whisky.
I enjoyed this one in a large Kilchoman verticale. It stood out for its higher out well in combination with sherry casks, although it lacks the magic of a 16 years old 2009 I enjoyed in the same session (wb 289473). But what are "100 % Islay casks"?

| Нос | 87 | Moderate medicinal peat mingles with fresh sea air, green apples and lemon balm. Then the sherry kicks in with chocolate, roasted chestnuts, bacon and a lovely touch of tobacco. A promising nose, although it's bit closed at the same time. |
| Вкус | 88 | The peat is stronger on the palate, opening up with chocolatey espresso, caramel fudge, some citrus fruits and a touch of maritime brine. The spices slowly take over with nutmeg, ginger, peppermint and a sliver of red pepper. |
| Финиш | 89 | Rather heavy peat alongside a sweet fruitiness of peaches and various citrus and red fruits. Praliné chocolates add sherry darkness, with the spices of the palate returning as well. Lovely! |

The bright fruit of the 100% Islay recipe is still evident even after 14 years. Floral sherry notes complement the whole, with some raw meat and salt added to the mix. A very nice cask selection. The wood doesn't seem to dominate too much in these casks.
high quality peat + sherry whisky with peaty character dialed down (14 years after all), but with a good complexity. Sherry cask worked really well here. The only downside is the price.

| Нос | 88 | intense and full of peat, but elegant at the same time. Once again Kilchoman proves to achieve an excellent result after >12 years of maturation. Dry peat, smoked meat, a bit of farm. Then continues with stewed fruit, dark cherries, dark chocolate. Industrial notes, grindstone, buckwheat honey. |
| Вкус | 87 | dark honey, iodine, barbecue, smoked meat. Some ash and not oily. Light wood spices, plenty of cacao and extra pure chocolate. Sweeter in the second sip. |
| Финиш | 88 | smoked mest and dark honey. New flavors - a bit of seafood and seaweed. Ending with herbs and cacao, as well as black pepper and salty bacon. |
Very light sherry influence, get a much more vegetal and herbal taste
Very tasty, drinkable, nice sherry, but unfortunately the finish is too short, flat and a bit watery.

Nose: Warm, alcoholic, with nicely integrated peat notes. Smoky peat with hints of black tea and smoked salmon. Slightly salty, sweet, but with sufficient fruit notes. A woody character with a lovely spiciness, slightly earthy with chestnut notes. Calvados apple notes, but certainly sufficient fresh fruit notes. Not too stewed in its fruit. After adding water, the sweetness becomes more dominant. A lovely warm, glossy mouthfeel. Medium finish. A very tasty whisky. I'm a huge fan of Kilchoman. But personally, I find the price of the special editions far too high. Especially for a 14-year-old whisky, I find €155 in Belgium far too much at the moment. I hope they really do something about their pricing. That's why I prefer Kilchoman's core range of whiskies.
Vaporous, fresh, spicy, and fruity sherry, barbecue smoke with a good layer of soot, dried fruit, raisins, dates, figs, apricots, crushed walnuts, a good whiff of iodine, baked apples, cinnamon, damp leather, smoked ham, and strawberry jam. It becomes more vegetal and herbal after a while. Tobacco leaves, very discreet cereals. On the palate, fresh fruit, plums, some red berries, white peaches, blood oranges. Dried, dusty peat mound. Lively spices, acacia honey. A fairly long and powerful finish, but not excessively so, charcoal, chocolate, coffee, grilled meat, licorice. Caramel and blackberries, a pinch of salt. It's really very good, neither the Sherry nor the peat is very powerful, and leaves room for a variety of flavors and fruits rarely seen in a peated whisky. https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2026/04/kilchoman-2011-20th-anniversary-casks.html

Flowery (lily, violets), honey and some beeswax on the nose with a soft, waxy, chocolate, cinnamon, peppery and Cognac-like taste and finish.

For me, this is a fantastic whisky. Sweet, intensely fruity with subtle smoke and leather, pleasantly warming with a tingling aftertaste.

Notes from the internet.
Unfortunately quite unpleasant aftertaste.

Not the best Kilchoman I have tasted, the most expensive indeed. Not worth the money.
Raisins, Burnt Sugar, Incense, Salted Caramel, Herbs, Berries The nose brings to mind a Swedish single malt—solid spirit structure with burnt sugar and incense seamlessly integrated. Raisins, berries, and Kilchoman’s signature herbal touch follow, with a hint of soft smoke. Curiously, it feels both well-matured and slightly youthful at the same time. On the palate, dark berries and caramelized sugar dominate, underpinned by graphite-like minerality. Compared to the nose, the cask influence is more pronounced. Smoky sherry—a curious, if somewhat uneven, combination.

aroma: subtle to indistinct, iodine, dried fruit somewhere in the background taste: harsher, disinfection, dried fruit It's not balanced the way I like it, not sweetened with smoke or sherry
The nose initially appears strangely perfumed. Then the sensation calms down, revealing a typical "Sherry Kilchoman" with the familiar light grassy aromas and a lovely, medium-length finish.

Great Kilchoman. Another sweety-peaty bomb

Dried fruits at the finish.
