Product description

Product description
Kilchoman Sanaig is named after the bay of Sanaigmore on the island of Islay. Originally, the first, limited bottling of Sanaig consisted of 30% bourbon casks and 70% Oloroso sherry casks. This made the Islay whisky a rich and fruity flavour experience, with a beautiful balance between smoky and subtle caramel notes.

    Kommentar: Bourbon und Sherry Casks. Komplexe und intensive Nase. Am Gaumen oelig und sehr ausgewogen bei gleichzeitiger Komplexitaet. Sehr langer Abgang voller Umami. Mit einem Teeloeffel Wasser kommen Sherry & Suesse noch mehr durch. Grossartig!
