Kilchoman Sanaig Cask Strength 2024 Limited Edition

Sanaig Cask Strength Limited Edition released in 2024. This release uses the same recipe as the regular Sanaig bottling however, it is bottled at cask strength 57.8% ABV rather than the regular release with 46% ABV.
Named after an inlet on Islay’s rugged Atlantic coast, Sanaig was matured in a combination of Oloroso sherry and bourbon casks. The high proportion of Oloroso sherry influence adding a balance of dried fruits and spices to classic Kilchoman citrus sweetness and peat smoke character. The sherry casks are sourced from  José y Miguel Martín and the consistency of these casks is really highlighted at the higher strength.

    Taste:    Intense sweetness and spiced dark chocolate with raisins, liquorice and warming rich peat smoke.

    Finish:   Lingering sweetness and spices with integrated smoke throughout.
