Kilchoman Cognac Cask

While many distilleries use Cognac casks to finish their whisky, Kilchoman goes further. This release has spent the full-term of its maturation in ex-Cognac barriques, allowing the French oak to fully express itself. The 2026 edition is a combination of 33 first-fill barriques, distilled in 2019, bottled at 50% abv. The result is a marriage of toasted nuts, warming spices, honeycomb sweetness and luscious stone fruit, which balance beautifully with Kilchoman’s distinctive peat smoke and bright citrus character.
