Tasting Notes

Nose: Billows of hearth smoke and sea-spray mingle with vanilla pod, toasted coconut and a drizzle of raspberry coulis. Palate: A bold surge of charcoal embers, briny toffee and liquorice root floods the tongue, chased by crème brûlée, cinnamon bark and a bright lift of candied citrus. Finish: Long, smouldering and gently drying—lingering camp-fire ash, salted caramel and a final flourish of spicy oak sweetness.
Celebrate Kilchoman’s spirit of experimentation with the Kilchoman 7 Year Old – 2018 UK-Exclusive Single Cask, STR/New French Oak #238. Distilled from 100 % Islay-grown barley and filled into an STR-treated new French-oak cask (shaved, toasted & re-charred) #238, the whisky slumbered beside Machir Bay for seven years before being drawn at natural cask strength in April 2025. Bottled non-chill-filtered and natural in colour, only 280 bottles were reserved exclusively for the UK market. Expect classic Kilchoman coastal smoke super-charged with waves of vanilla cream, toasted spice and sweet red-berry depth from the freshly rejuvenated French oak.

Why We Think You’ll Love It

  • STR-treated new French oak layers vibrant vanilla, red-berry fruit and warming spice onto Kilchoman’s maritime peat.

  • 7 years of maturation capture youthful Islay energy with complex oak-driven richness.

  • Bottled at natural cask strength (non-chill-filtered, natural colour) for undiluted texture, aroma and intensity.

  • Strictly 280 bottles released exclusively for the UK, making it a prized find for collectors and peat lovers alike.

  • Showcases Kilchoman’s farm-to-bottle ethos and innovative cask programme in one compelling dram.

Pour a measure of this UK-exclusive Kilchoman and savour an exhilarating fusion of coastal peat, creamy vanilla and spicy French-oak depth—an unforgettable whisky that crackles with island character from first nosing to lingering finish.
