Although I'm not necessarily a lover of smoky malt with ashes and burnt wood notes, I have to admit that Kilchoman fascinates and excites me more and more. The combination of the flavors make this malt a taste experience! Yummy, I like it very much!

Even when removing the parafilm, the first intense smoke aromas are noticeable! After pouring burnt wood flavors and fly ash exude their intense aroma, a surprisingly sweet fruit touch penetrates through the smoky peat. Apricots mix with dark caramel, but the smoky and burnt wood aromas are dominant in the foreground. Slightly salty, the peat is pervaded by fried bacon, citrus flavors and fresh peppermint provide variety. Suddenly the Kilchoman burns off a veritable firework of flavors! Ash, peat, smoke, burned wood, bacon, peppermint, citrus fruits, caramel, apricots, burnt sugar, honey, chocolate. My stinkers dance Pogo ... ;-)

Powerfully, the palate fills with cold smoke and ash at the first sip. The burned wood elements are slowly being traversed by dark fruit flavors, as well as sour citrus flavors come to light. Spicy wood tones and salty hints follow, dark forest honey turns into sweet caramel. After the second sip, a salt mantle lays around the tongue, ash and smoke hit the palate. Sweet elements mingle with acidic citrus fruits, the burnt wood tones become tart and saltier. Again shows burned sugar or honey, creamy and oily spread meadow herbs in the palate. Not only in the nose but also in taste Kilchoman burns a true fireworks.

The taste is getting more and more oily and creamy. The smoke billowing impressively through the mouth even in the end. Sweet hints and slightly greasy aromas make the aftertaste appear a bit sweeter and not so brutal. From the meadow herbs grows again a fresh mint note with hints of citrus and walnut flavor.
