Kilchoman Batch Strength Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

From Kilchoman distillery on Islay, Batch Strength is the bold latest addition to their core range. Matured in a combination of re-charred red wine casks, oloroso sherry butts and bourbon barrels, a few drops of water were added post maturation to produce a batch strength of 57% abv.

Anyone who has tasted a cask strength Kilchoman, be it a Single Cask or Machir Bay Cask Strength, will know how the Kilchoman spirit shines through at a high volume.

At 57% ABV, Batch Strength is a giant of a dram, it has a raw intensity, that I love. But importantly, that power is balanced by a delicacy and finesse that speaks for the quality of our production processes in the stillhouse, and also the quality of casks used for maturation,says Kilchoman Founder Anthony Wills.
