Description
Kilchoman Sauternes Cask Matured 2024
A limited Kilchoman matured entirely in Sauternes casks, marrying sweet wine richness with floral peat smoke.
The 2024 Sauternes Cask Matured release was fully matured in a combination of fresh and refill Sauternes barriques, with whisky from multiple vintages brought together by founder Anthony Wills. It is an unusual style for Kilchoman, balancing buttery sweetness and candied fruit with the distillery's clean maritime peat and coastal freshness.

Why This Whisky Matters
