Kilchoman Loch Gorm 2026

Produced at Kilchoman Distillery on Islay's rugged west coast, Loch Gorm is named after the island's largest freshwater loch, located near the distillery itself. Founded in 2005 by Anthony Wills, Kilchoman was the first new distillery established on Islay in more than 120 years and remains one of Scotland's few farm distilleries. The 2026 Edition was matured exclusively in Oloroso sherry butts sourced from Bodega José y Miguel Martín in Spain, continuing the tradition that has made Loch Gorm one of Kilchoman's most sought-after annual releases. The combination of rich sherry influence and the distillery's signature peat smoke creates a whisky that remains distinctly Kilchoman while showcasing exceptional depth and maturity

Palate: Rich and full-bodied with layers of sherried fruitcake, cocoa, espresso, treacle, toasted nuts, black cherry, oak spice, and earthy peat smoke balanced by a velvety texture.

Finish: Long and warming with lingering notes of dark chocolate, smoked oak, dried fruit, peppery spice, salted caramel, and glowing peat embers.
