As usual as the first limited release of the year, the 2019 Loch Gorm was released on 8 April 2019. This was already the eighth edition of the popular annual limited Kilchoman Oloroso sherry cask releases and the seventh under this name.

Kilchoman Founder & Managing Director Anthony Wills selected 20 Oloroso Sherry Butts from 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2011 for this bottling. This means that for the first time, 12 and 13 year old casks were also included here.

Anthony Wills wrote: “It has been fascinating to see first-hand how the character of our oloroso butts have developed. Recent editions of Loch Gorm have seen a coming-of-age for the range, the addition 12 and 13 year old casks add a fantastic balance and complexity.”

Anthony’s tasting notes: “Layers of stewed plums, pears and tropical fruit have become more defined in the casks as they age, complimenting the bold, spicy and rich character of early releases, creating a beautiful marriage of Kilchoman and oloroso sherry cask maturation. I’m delighted with the 2019 release and look forward seeing how it’s received.”
