Kilchoman Loch Gorm 2021

The hotly anticipated Loch Gorm is once again ready for its annual release. Named after Islay’s largest fresh water loch neighbouring the distillery, Loch Gorm is the only annual limited edition matured entirely in Oloroso sherry casks.

Year on year the vatting of Loch Gormsubtly changes (and sometimes not sosubtly), in age, colour and character. This, the 2021 edition, is a vatting of 24 Oloroso sherry butts filled in 2011 and 2012. These large 500 litre sherry butts have been sourced from Bodega Miguel Martin in Spain and filled with Kilchoman spirit peated to 50ppm. Once these casks matured for a minimum of 9 years, they were then vatted together and bottled at 46% abv, resulting in 17,000 bottles being made available to Kilchoman fans around the world.
