Nose: Bold and meaty, with upfront notes of smoked bacon. Orchard fruits add depth, making it malty and rich.

Taste: Full-bodied and meaty, with Kilchoman’s signature intensity. Sweet, almost sugary, yet still earthy with peaty undertones and a hint of cinnamon.

Finish: Medium-long, delivering layers of meat, peat, and sweet with a final hint of citrus.

Comment: A robust, smoky delight—classic Kilchoman.
