Kilchoman, a Scottish Islay distillery that’s one of the smallest whisky makers in that part of the world, has been around for only a little over a decade. The Scotch it produces is generally well received by those who know about it, and now a new bottling is being made available for general distribution that is non-age statement in nature.The Kilchoman Sanaig whisky is so named because it is inspired by a rock inlet of the same name that’s northwest of the distillery. It has a predominately sherry cask influence to the color and taste, owing to the reportedly significant time spent in Oloroso sherry casks.
“Sanaig is a bold marriage of sherry and bourbon cask maturation,” said John MacLellan, Kilchoman Distillery Manager, in a statement. ” It is both a continuation of the classic Kilchoman style people know and love as well as a development fans of Kilchoman have yet to experience.”
Pricing for Sanaig is currently set at around £53, or about $75 USD. Though it is already out in retail overseas, there was no immediate mention of when it would appear in American liquor stores.
