Kilchoman Releases Port Cask Matured and Loch Gorm 2018 Editions

Kilchoma Port Cask Matured and Loch Gorm 2018 Editions

Kilchoman has released their first limited edition bottles of the year – 2018 editions of Port Cask Matured and Loch Gorm. This is only the second Port Cask Matured release from Kilchoman, with the first released in 2014. The 2018 edition is a vatting of thirty ruby port hogsheads filled in 2014, yielding a total of 10,000 bottles at 50% ABV. This has been matured entirely in port casks, not finished, which Kilchoman states gives the whisky “an added dimension, with layers of red fruits, creamy vanilla and floral sweetness.”

Released alongside the Port Cask Matured is the 2018 edition of Loch Gorm, Kilchoman’s sherry cask matured limited edition. The 2018 release of 15,000 bottles is made up of nineteen oloroso sherry butts filled in 2007, 2008 and 2011, containing some of the oldest sherry casks ever filled at Kilchoman. Loch Gorm is matured entirely in sherry casks with “rich sherry notes, cooked fruits and subtle Islay peat.”

Kilchoman plans to release at least one more limited edition this year – the 8th edition of 100% Islay, which will be releasing this Fall.

The 2018 editions of Port Cask Matured and Loch Gorm are on their way to retailers now.
