"Aromas of sage, charred wood, and roasted spices captivate the senses, while a subtle ocean breeze minerality adds intrigue. The spicy, hot finish lingers with a well-balanced intensity. An enticing and harmonious tasting experience that showcases the perfect blend of flavors and complexity."

"Mossy peat, smoke, BBQ sweetcorn, honeyed oak and sweet fruit. Deeply flavorful, rich palate culminating in a fine oak-laced finish. Superb."
Gold - Intl Spirits Challenge 2022
"Smoke, samphire, and Kilchoman’s fleshy core giving echoes of 80s cuisine: scallops and white peaches anyone? Watering shows sea-washed rock, light flowers, and hot sand. The palate is sweet, sour, and smoky, with a chalky edge and a peppery palate, but water releases blossom and a little gunsmoke." - Whisky Advocate
