Loch Gorm 2019 Edition announced

As in previous years, the series of annual limited releases begins with the Loch Gorm, Kilchoman whisky mataured exclusively in Oloroso sherry casks. Anthony Wills has selected 20 Oloroso Sherry Butts from 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2011 for this year’s edition. This means that for the first time, 12 and 13 year old casks are also included. The circulation is 15,000 bottles, bottled with an alcohol strength of 46% abv.

Kilchoman founder & Managing Director 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.”

A limited number of bottles have been available since today, 8 April 2019, via the Kilchoman online shop, for £69.90 in British whisky shops and soon in international Kilchoman markets.
