Kilchoman Single Cask Release Ruby Port

This is a unique bottle I picked up from Westmoreland Liquor. It’s an 8 year single cask release matured in ex Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels and finished for 1 year in a Ruby Port cask. Cask Number 245/2012 Nose: There’s lots of red fruit like strawberry jam and raspberry. Maybe an orange citrus and raisin. There’s also bacon, smoked meat, rubber. Palate: Strawberry, cherry, orange spice, caramel, bbq, iodine, smoke, pepper. Finish: I get more citrus like lime and orange spice. Of course strawberry and raisin. Also iodine, pepper, tobacco, smoke. I really like this! It doesn’t seem as peaty as traditional Kilchoman but it’s still 50ppm. Good strong flavors and very enjoyable!
