Kilchoman 2013 Mezcal Single Cask Finish 742/2013

Kilchoman 2013 Mezcal Single Cask Finish 742/2013 is a single cask from Kilchoman's farm distillery on Islay. Spirit from malt peated to 50 PPM was filled on 18 October 2013 into an ex-bourbon barrel, where it spent most of its life before being moved to an ex-mezcal cask for eight months. It was bottled on 13 August 2021 at a natural cask strength of 55.2% ABV, giving just 199 bottles, non-chill filtered and naturally coloured. Kilchoman's clean smoke and citrus meet the vegetal, smoky character of the mezcal cask.

Nose: Clean peat smoke and crisp citrus with vegetal mezcal notes, juicy malt and salted caramel.

Palate: Big and intense, with lemon and lime, salty maritime tones, layered smoke and agave nectar.

Finish: Bright citrus, toasted oak and juicy malt with a salty edge, long and coating.

Serve: Neat, or with a few drops of water.
