Kilchoman Distillery was established in 2005 and is true to Islay's rich farm distilling heritage. The distillery uses local peat cut in the traditional way, slowly distilling all spirits by hand, allowing maturation to occur in traditional dunnage warehouses, and bottling on site without any colouring or chill-filtration. The Kilchoman 100% Islay 12th Edition from Kilchoman distillery was matured in 29 bourbon barrels and 6 oloroso sherry butts for a minimum of 8 years. Once harvested, the barley was hand malted on the Kilchoman malt floor, and gently turned twice daily by the maltmen as it germinated. The green malt was then smoked using peat cut from the Cnoc Dubh peat banks, the thick peat smoke permeating each barley grain, creating the distinct smoky Kilchoman character, landing around 20PPM. Once distilled in Kilchoman's unique pot stills, the new make spirit was filled into casks and stowed in dunnage warehouses at the distillery. The nose is elegant, sweet peat smoke, followed by waves of citrus and honey, finishing with notes of vanilla and salted caramel. A Bourbon-driven 100% Islay brings an initial malt-driven profile followed by green fruits; apple and pear. Light spice, raisin and toffee are present towards the finish. Peat smoke returns and remains on the palate. The oily texture of this 100% Islay allows for a creamy profile balanced with toffee and caramelised sugar.

Here we have another batch of Speyside #3 from an undisclosed distillery in the Speside region from That Boutique-y Whisky Company. Again we see a group of (friendly?) ghosts on the label, toasting on a somewhat dark evening. With so many Speyside distilleries it may be a little tough to guess where this 6 year old single malt comes from, but the label may have a clue or two. This drop begins with a very fruity nose. Aromas of strawberries, nectarines, and blood oranges, before toffee and vanilla soften plenty of ripe, gristly malt. The stone fruit continue through the palate with ripe red apples and hints of toasty cereals, barley sugar, and acacia honey in support. Great length through the finish with malt extract and peppery spice. Bottle Information Batch 2 Aged 6 Years

Maker: Remote and rugged is how you can describe Islay, on the western coast of Scotland, lies a distillery that has captured the hearts and palates of whisky enthusiasts around the world. Laphroaig, pronounced as "La-froyg," is a name that resonates with those who appreciate the distinct and powerful flavours that only a peated Islay whisky can deliver. Established in 1815 by brothers Alexander and Donald Johnston, Laphroaig's rich history is intertwined with the rugged beauty of its island home. The distillery stands proudly on the southern coast of Islay, overlooking the dramatic Atlantic Ocean, which plays a significant role in shaping the character of its whiskies. What sets Laphroaig apart from other whiskies is its unmistakably smoky and peaty profile. The distillery sources its malted barley from the nearby Port Ellen maltings, where it is dried over a peat fire, infusing the grain with the distinct flavours of the island. The resulting whisky is a true reflection of its terroir, with an intense and complex flavour profile that is often described as a balance between smoke, maritime brininess, and a hint of sweetness. Distillery: Laphroaig is blessed with its proximity to the Kilbride Stream, they've got a plentiful supply of peaty, mineral-rich water. The water is used as a coolant throughout the whisky-making process and in fact is one of Laphroaig’s main ingredients, lending soft, peaty, flavoursome notes to our whisky. As for the soil, well, their peat bogs are unlike anything found on mainland Scotland. Unlike other scotch producing sites, there are no forests on Islay, so the plants that fuel the peat are primarily heather, lichen, and moss. These give Laphroaig its herbal, qualities that are distinctive to the island, and the whisky. Also in the mix is old sea vegetation from when Islay was under water. The influence of this on the peat gives Laphroaig its maritime character and is one of the biggest points of difference from mainland peat. Nose - Iodine, Burnt Wood, Vanilla Fudge Lightly peaty with notes of iodine and burnt wood. Floral green malt, sweet candyfloss and vanilla fudge, and subtle blueberry and raspberry accents. Palate - Spicy, Barbecue Ash, Dried Flowers Sweet and spicy, with hints of classic Laphroaig peat and cold barbecue ash. Salted caramel and butterscotch, roast chestnut, a hint of peach, dried flowers and white pepper. Finish - Peaty, Malty, Praline Peaty and malty, with brown sugar notes and lingering sweetness. Style - Scotch Whisky Country - Scotland Region - Islay Bottle Size - 700ml ABV - 45.5%
