Kilchoman Sanaig

Nose: Oak, peat and earthy notes.  Fresh grass with a fruity sweetness in the background.  Bits of tar poled and ash mixed with orange peel and smoke. Soft sweetness  with caramel and vanilla and a hint of coffee.

Palate: Ash and wood with honey sweetness and green, fruity notes.  Bits of plums, cherries and toffee mix with peat, smoke and  dark chocolate. Rich and bold with water softening the earthy peat notes and bringing more fruit to the fore.

A good balance between peat and sweet notes.  Interesting to note that the peat appears to be more Highland peat style with more green notes and no seaweed and iodine medicinal notes.

Finish: Long and warming with notes of spices, brown sugar and smoke.
