Marking a milestone for Kilchoman, the 2025 release is their first-ever 10Year Old Loch Gorm, matured entirely in Oloroso sherry butts and selected from 23 casks (20 first-fill, 3 refill). True to Islay style, it’s nonchill filtered with no added colorshowing off rich copper tones and a deep sherry profile balanced by signature peat smoke.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Notes of caramelised custard tart, freshly roasted coffee, and candied ginger, finely intertwined with Islays coastal peat smoke and light citrus zest.

Palate: A luxurious, sherry-infused wave of honey-roasted figs, cloves, sticky toffee pudding, and subtle smoky banana, accompanied by dark fruit and soft spice.

Finish: Long and warming, with lingering savory peat embers, fruitcake, spiced oak, and maritime mineral saltiness.
