The first Red wine cask limited edition from Kilchoman bottled in 2017. This Kilchoman was matured for over 5 years exclusively in red wine casks from Portugal's Douro Valley (rather than the standard x Bourbon). The peat is middling to strong with additional hints of ripe plum, pepper, kipper and mezcal. Semi sweet on entry developing with hints of green banana, then more bitter dark chocolate through the oily peat. Delicate lanolin and tobacco through the finish. Concludes peppery, medium long, with lingering earthy peat.
I've actually been wanting to taste this so I can make up my mind to buy a bottle. When I found your site and saw it had this I immediately bought some tasting samples and absolutely loved it! Will definitely invest in a bottle
Heard for a while how good Littlemill’s can be. This SMWS 30yo certainly did not disappoint, the nose on this dram was amazing.
It was a flavour packed palete, that certainly stood out as such a fine whisky.
Thanks again Horny Pony for providing some banging drams, with a great service throughout
An absolutely amazing whisky, this Imperial 24yo was flavour heaven. Could see from the second it was poured into the Glencairn that it was something special.
Also the service provided by Horny Pony was brilliant, well recommended for anyone looking for trying some special whiskies.
Just wow. Gets better and better after about an hour, sweet, salty, dry finish and legs that take about a week to run down the glass. Mastery in a glass. Thank you HP for making it possible for me to try this dram.
