The 100% Islay Sherry Cask Matured 11 Years Old, was distilled from their 2011, 2012 and 2013 barley harvests, and matured for a minimum of 11 years in ex-oloroso sherry butts.

Bottled at 50% abv. with no added colour or chill-filtration, this release combines 16 individually selected first-fill oloroso sherry butts originally used by José y Miguel Martin, Jerez, Spain. This release differs significantly from the recent 100% Islay 15th Edition, which was matured exclusively in ex-bourbon barrels for nine years. Ex-sherry casks impart remarkable depth, with pronounced notes of dark fruits, spice, and smoked meat, in contrast to the lighter citrus-driven profile more typical of our previous 100% Islay expressions.

“I’ve had my eye on these casks for a while, waiting for the perfect time to bottle them.” Anthony Wills, Kilchoman Founder.
