Kilchoman 11 Year Old Family Series 1st Edition is a bold and beautifully balanced Islay single malt Scotch whisky, released in 2026 as the inaugural bottling in the distillery’s Family Series. Crafted using heavily peated barley (50ppm) sourced from Port Ellen Maltings on Islay and matured exclusively in ex-sherry casks, this limited edition showcases a classic Kilchoman style with rich sherry influence and powerful coastal peat smoke. Bottled at a natural 54.7% ABV, it delivers exceptional intensity and complexity.
Unlike Kilchoman’s 100% Islay releases, this expression uses heavily peated malt from Port Ellen Maltings, creating the distinctive smoky profile that has become synonymous with the distillery. The ex-sherry cask maturation enriches the spirit with layers of dried fruits, dark chocolate, roasted nuts, and warming spice while allowing Kilchoman’s vibrant citrus notes, maritime freshness, and earthy peat smoke to remain at the forefront. Bottled without chill-filtration or added colour, it is an outstanding example of modern Islay whisky craftsmanship.
