Kilchoman 100% Islay (2nd Edition)

Crystal straw colored. A creamy peat on the nose, with green mowed grass and bright pale berries. The cream dominates the nose and manages a juggling of sweet and almost rotted notes. Washes fresh over the tongue, brightly acidic despite the moderate peat and that this is the bottom of the bottle now. A thin smokiness surrounds a confident green palate. There's almost something footy there and sweet like a cognac. Really one of the more interesting and dynamic drams I've had. Looking forward to opening the next one.

Less fruity than the 3rd edition. Good amount of peat and smoke but odd notes of oil and petrol . Thankfully the odd notes were slight. But I would not repurchase this one.

Pear & cinnamon edge out the peat in the nose. Peat grows stronger on the palate with creamy banana & vanilla notes. Iced lemon cookies. Water a must.

6th Edition Peaty nose malted barley, slightly woody, fruit maybe? Finish is medium, cereal/barley, Tried at Lochside in Bowmore on 7/27/2016

Nose as first quite surprising. Sweet not that smoky, nor peaty whisky. Quite rich and medium/full body.

Smooth smoke, a little grassy, good introduction to smokey Scotch.
