Kilchoman Family Collection - 14 Years Old Bourbon Cask Matured

Experience the purest manifestation of farm-to-glass Scotch distilling with the Kilchoman Family Collection - 14 Years Old Bourbon Cask Matured Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Made entirely with Rockside barley grown on Islay —this ultra-limited bottling stands as an historic benchmark in modern farm distilling. As an exceptional highlight within the prestigious Family Collection Series 1st Edition, this well-aged single malt is an essential crown jewel for Islay whisky collectors and farm-distilled spirits enthusiasts.

What sets this release apart is its authentic, hyper-local provenance. Crafted as part of Kilchoman's iconic 100% Islay Series, every single step of production took place on-site: from harvesting the Publican barley grown directly on Rockside Farm, to traditional floor malting, peat smoking, distilling, 14-year maturation, and final bottling. Spent entirely in hand-selected first-fill ex-bourbon casks, fourteen long years of coastal maturation in Islay's sea-washed warehouses softened the fresh, agricultural spirit, infusing it with deep vanilla, bright citrus, and charred oak sweetness.

Pure 100% Islay Provenance & Extended Aging

The Heritage Milestone: Double-digit age statements from Kilchoman's 100% Islay range are among the rarest bottlings in the distillery's history. Grown on Rockside Farm and lightly peated on local floor maltings, this 14-year-old release represents a softer, sweeter, and more elegant style of Islay peat, elevated by over a decade of bourbon wood extraction.

Tasting Notes

  • Aroma / Nose: Elegant, bright, and coastal. Soft peat smoke, sweet vanilla bean, and fresh lemon curd open the bouquet, followed by toasted malted barley, green apple, floral heather, and sea salt brine.
  • Palate / Flavour: Silky, creamy, and wonderfully balanced. Waves of honeyed cereal, sweet coconut, and buttery vanilla fudge dance alongside gentle peat ash, lemon zest, toasted oak, and soft baking spices.
  • Finish: Long, clean, and satisfyingly warm. It leaves a lingering trail of sweet oak vanilla, delicate peat smoke, maritime sea spray, and crisp orchard fruit.

Sip this 14-Year-Old Rockside Barley Kilchoman neat to dissect its complex grain-to-glass journey, or keep it sealed as a prized heirloom in your fine spirits collection.
