Kilchoman getting hard find

@davenhemming 5 месяцев назад

Love Kilchoman. The machir bay is great 🥃

@whiskeyisajourney 5 месяцев назад

This entire flight was impressive. Cheers!

@theDSP71 5 месяцев назад

Love them all, especially the Loch Gorm 2023.

@whiskeyisajourney 5 месяцев назад

I see the 2023 on the shelf...I wonder if I should pick it up and compare it to the 2022.

@jackthepickledhound 5 месяцев назад

@@whiskeyisajourney it's makes for good content. I couldn't decide if the affordable Sanaig or the $100+ Loch Gorm was what I needed in a 46% sherried peat. I never tried the Sanaig as of yet. It's hard not to be disappointed. BUT.. I asked my local shop to get the Loch Gorm, after I spent $135 on a 9 year bourbon cask single barrel release. They sold it out faster than the other versions. But after the disappointing neck pour it really opened up. The fruity sweetness now shines, past the shoulder and the label. Just not sure if I'd replace it. I like the USA releases. They are higher ABV and blended with different casks and only $10-15 more then the Sanaig.

@theDSP71 5 месяцев назад

@@whiskeyisajourney Depends on your preference. First of all I 'm a whisky novice and my palette still needs to develop. But tasting the Loch Gorm 2023 just makes me smile, it starts with nicely balanced smoky flavours and then develops into really smooth sweet notes which linger in the back of my mouth. Maybe a bit like a smoky Bunna 12. I can't tell if it's complex or not, for me it's easier to pick out nuances with unpeated bourbon driven whiskies like the Glencadam 10, the Classic Laddie and the Deanston 12, sherry influences are harder to determine at the moment. I do know that I like it more then Bunna 12, the Edradour Caledonia and even the Springbank 10, I haven't tasted the edition from 22 so I can't compare. Based on how reviewers like you describe and rate some of the whiskies I've mentioned I won't be surprised though that in the future I would rank it differently. Cheers!

@kevinnordby4808 5 месяцев назад

@@whiskeyisajourney I have had a bottle of the Loch Grom 2022 and 2023 and compared them side by side and liked the 2023 quite a bit more. The 2023 had more depth and complexity for me. I would not buy another bottle of 2022 but I would definitely buy another 2023.

@whiskeyisajourney 5 месяцев назад

If it is still on the shelf I will grab it. You sold me.

@LiveiLLogic 5 месяцев назад

Great video Peter! Just poured Machir Bay last night and forgot how incredible it is for the money. I am able to buy it here in the Midwest for $55 + tax. Different but in profile but can hold its own with my other peated cheapies, Lagavulin 8 and Ardbeg wee beastie. Cheers!

@whiskeyisajourney 5 месяцев назад

I was impressed with the Machir Bay along with the other offerings in this flight. Cheers!

@DileepB 5 месяцев назад

Love the Sanaig and Machir Bay. Easy to find. Looks like you prefer less sherry.

@whiskeyisajourney 5 месяцев назад

They are always available in my area as well and they are good!

@stevenparker6815 5 месяцев назад

I look forward to these every month! You should do this more often haha

@stevenparker6815 5 месяцев назад

I bought my first kilchoman the other day. 2009 vintage. I haven't tried it yet but I believe it's an older release. A few too many peated whiskies open in the collection right now haha

@whiskeyisajourney 5 месяцев назад

I hope you like it when you open it. Cheers!

@Abby_Normal_1969 5 месяцев назад

Not familiar with Kilchoman. This flight sounds pretty intriguing.

@whiskeyisajourney 5 месяцев назад

I thought it was a good one. Not a bad bottle in the flight.

@kevinnordby4808 5 месяцев назад

Great flight Peter! I’m a big Kilchoman fan, especially the 100% Islay releases and the Fino cask matured from last year was wonderful. I have an Impex 12 year single cask, cask strength, that is absolutely great…..any of the Impex single casks are great!

@whiskeyisajourney 5 месяцев назад

Okay that is good to know. I don't think I have heard of the Impex before so now I will be on the look out for one. Thanks! Cheers!

@kevinnordby4808 5 месяцев назад

Yes, Impex is the US distributor for Kilchoman, Glenallachie and others but they do officially bottled single casks a few times a year.

@justwhisky 5 месяцев назад

That 12 th 100% Islay is a banger! Cheers 🥃

@whiskeyisajourney 5 месяцев назад

I was pleasantly surprised by it. Each offering in this lineup was good. I think I need to pick up the 2023 100% Islay as well. Cheers!

@geshtin 5 месяцев назад

I've only tried Machir Bay and Sanaig. I usually prefer my sherried whiskies un-smoky/peaty and my smokey whiskies ex-bourbony. So much to my surprise I still enjoy Sanaig best of the two. I've gone through like three bottles of each and I like both enough to keep them available all the time but Sanaig is still where Kilchoman to my taste excels. Is the Loch Gorm different enough that I should shell out a third more in price?

@whiskeyisajourney 5 месяцев назад

Loch Gorm is very much a sherry forward expression with a light/medium peat note. I think it's worth it.

@Rohit_M 5 месяцев назад

It's maa-keer-bay based on previous reviews by some. I believe Machir Bay came out with a CS version a couple of years ago or maybe before that. I have Sanaig which I love for the Sherry notes and some peat. Admittedly, I have not been able to find Loch Gorm in my market and would love to try it if I can get it locally.

@whiskeyisajourney 5 месяцев назад

Machir Bay at CS sounds great!

@lightplays2181 5 месяцев назад

Kilchoman heave wery interesting realaises , great distillery , my favoorite 100% Islay barley and Sanaig .Cheers !

@whiskeyisajourney 5 месяцев назад

The 2023 100% Islay Barley sounds like it's better then the 2022 based on some of the reviews I have read. I might have to get it and compare.

@lightplays2181 5 месяцев назад

@@whiskeyisajourney good luck )

@TheReal_DeanD 5 месяцев назад

How were the mouth feels on these? For me the Machir Bay was a little thin feeling and was a bit lemony. I’m relieved now that I missed out on the 100% Islay Barley.

@whiskeyisajourney 5 месяцев назад

I thought they were all slightly thin, but still tasty.

@LuizValenz 4 месяца назад

I am a big fan of kilchoman. I was listening to your description notes, and I knew it 100% what you were drinking, my friend. Nice you brought on the table the small batch. 👌. It's hard to find reviews about the small batches. Really nice videos, was fast and rich in content, I really enjoyed 😉!!! Thanks !!!! 😊 My Favorite Kilchoman is the Madeira cask expresion 2022, I love that Madeira, I got two bottles, jajaja I am keep one for my 40 birthday jajaja 4 years more jaja cheers !

@whiskeyisajourney 4 месяца назад

I am excited for Kilchoman. So far everything I have had from them has been good. Looking forward for more. Cheers and thank you.

@LuizValenz 4 месяца назад

@whiskeyisajourney I hope Kilchoman will find a balance within price and quality. Core expression has ok prices and fair ones, but some limited editions are expensive nowdays.

@Tipsypixels 5 месяцев назад

I did not expect that! I thought the Loch Gorm would or the Sanaig would be higher. I've tried the Machir Bay and the Sanaig, and I absolutely love the Sanaig. Kilchoman seems to be doing great things, I just hope their prices will stay reasonable. Great video btw, cheers!

@whiskeyisajourney 5 месяцев назад

Thanks! I am right there with you. I hope the prices don't jump. Cheers!

@vinceandtheresa1243 5 месяцев назад

Absolutely love the Sanaig!

@whiskeyisajourney 5 месяцев назад

I was a little surprised where it finished in the lineup, but it's still very good regardless. Cheers!

@francisoconnor2392 5 месяцев назад

Makes a good rusty nail with a bit of Sanaig added .

@whiskeyisajourney 5 месяцев назад

I'll have to give that a try. Cheers!

@mattfalk8493 5 месяцев назад

Nice Flight.. I've only ever had the Kilchoman Sanaig I must have liked it because I finished it over Christmas hoildays 😂😂... I'm very interested in trying more of the 100% Barley bottles I've seen coming out recently I see Bruichladdich has a Islay Barley out and Springbank has a 10yr local Barley, good to know Kilchoman has a Barley out as well very interested in trying this now... Cheers Peter 🥃 🥃🥃

@whiskeyisajourney 5 месяцев назад

The entire lineup is good and the 100% barley is getting good reviews lately. Cheers!

@YoungShag 19 дней назад

The “ch” makes a softer sound like the “h” in Arabic languages and you pronounce the “r”. It’s “Ma-kheer” or “Ma-kher”.

@whiskeyisajourney 19 дней назад

Thanks. I struggle with pronunciation with bottles sometimes. I appreciate the help. Cheers!

@jackthepickledhound 5 месяцев назад

I dig Kilchoman, very cool blend. I like the USA #5, I also have #8 to open. I do have a bourbon matured single cask CS 8 year old that really rocks. Would be really interested in the Lightly peated Islay barley

@whiskeyisajourney 5 месяцев назад

The CS sounds good. I'd be interested to try one of those. Cheers!
