Kilchoman 14 Year Old Family Collection | 100% Rockside Farm Barley | 50.9% ABV | 70cl

The 14 Year Old Family Collection is 100% estate-grown: barley harvested at Rockside Farm in 2011, malted on-site, peated to 20ppm, and matured on Islay from start to finish. Fourteen years in ex-bourbon casks has amplified and refined the coastal farm character without softening it. This is Kilchoman at its most honest — fully traceable from field to bottle.
