I'm pretty sure that's from Islay. A really good smoker, just the thing to enjoy a nice malt without thinking too much about it.

Notes from a blind tasting.
I would have bet on Islay, but would probably have landed on the south coast or at Bunnahabhain. Of course, Kilchoman absolutely fits! It is interesting that I still felt the first 100% Islays (inaugural, 2nd and 3rd) as very immature, of which nothing was felt here. In principle, this is already normal with Kilchoman with the young grenades.-
First extremely closed, only strangely musty notes and freshly cut vegetables (green beans?) Can be found, and possibly again, smoke? He gets time first. After he has received, but show quite rich flavors. Yellow groats, disinfectants, bare rock, stone dust, and probably another idea smoke. However, some strange, indefinable notes are still there. It warms more and more stranger, unfolds a wild chemical cocktail and changes with each additional degree, which is heated to the whisky. Nothing that could even be described in any way. Later, apart from disinfectants and coal fires, there is nothing left to be felt.

In the mouth, he is no longer so strange in the least. Strong acidity and the typical malty peat sweetness, much more than expected in the nose, give a rendezvous, to the back also a few tart notes. The acid turns fruity, citrusy and chemically. The alcohol is normally strong, the mouthfeel slightly oily.
-
The finish is relatively long, it warms significantly, acidity, sweetness and slight bitterness hold evenly, in the end, an ash occupancy of the tongue really long.

A strange sweet note in nose and taste dominates, which makes it not great but not bad either.
But by far not the best Kilchoman I've tasted.-
Some peatsmoke, salty, some citrus, sea breeze, and a somewhat strange undefinable odour.
-
Pretty soft, some pepper, peatsmoke and ash, some strange sweet taste as well.
-
Spicy, some pepper, smoke and ash. Middle long, some sweet notes as well.

An interesting whisky, which I believe showcases its origins, the raw ingredients like barley, peat and yeast. It certainly harbours potential, but at this moment I find it still too young, too green. Wait a few years and this might become a great whisky.-
A slow starter probably with not too much going on in the nose. A very light smokiness and a few pinches of salt, some barley sugar, apples, and sour dough. It is starting to talk more loudly with in particular more oranges, and becomes better and better with more other fruits, including some barely ripe mango and papaya, a spoon of pumpkin puree. It remains light, with a large new make-y character, notes of agricôle white rum, agave, like in mezcal.
-
Pretty punchy with a sandy, salty peat, which I find quite typical of Kilchoman. It appears very pure with good healthy grains (not like in grain whisky mind you), breads, sesame or poppy seeds, pine resin, and more breads. Very nice, very good, but, eh, young. Then more smoke, slightly acrid, a hint of glue and sour dough. It remains very fresh, with some added lemon juice, tar, and mezcal.
-
More of the above.
