I just got home from a busy weekend working at the UK Games Expo (post about that coming soon, probably) and I really wanted to relax before I head back to the day job tomorrow, and I decided to reach for a bottle that I don't spend much time with - the Kilchoman Loch Gorm 2022 edition. Bottled: 2022 Cask Type: Matured in oloroso sherry butts previously used by Bodega Jose y Miguel Martin for a minimum of eight years. Stated Age: NAS Strength: 46% Price Paid: Somewhere around £60 for the bottle Served: Neat in a Glencairn Nose: Salt, smokey peat (though not as much as I expected), and something medicinal and sour lurking underneath, almost like burned rubber Palette: Sweet and spicy, sherry run through with peppercorn and chili flakes. I don't get much of the peat on the palette, which is again surprising. Finish: On the short end of medium length. This Is where the smoke lives, bursting in as the other flavours all aside. It's ashy like burned paper. There's some vague fruitiness…
