Kilchoman Saniag 46%
Tasting Note
70% Oloroso/ 30% Bourbon
Tasted: Apr 2018
The nose is oily and earthy with a good dollop of pruney dried fruit, but still very fresh and briny. The peat, although 50ppm is pungent but relatively subtle and takes a back seat to the dried fruit and citrus. Chocolaty and malty notes appear along with a touch of praline and salt.
The palate is rich and pruney with plenty of dried fruit and dusty peat. Hints of lime, tangerine and orange follow but the combination of dusty peat and dusty tannins rampages through! Moves into dark cocoa powder, coffee and smoked meat on the middle. Long and salty with the Bourbon vanillins making an appearance, along with some white fruit and salt. Lovely ashy peat after-taste.
