Loch Gorm is the name given to the annually released sherry cask matured limited edition from Kilchoman. The loch, murky and peaty in colour, reflects the dark copper tones of the sherry matured Loch Gorm release. As the only release in the Kilchoman range to be fully matured in sherry casks, Loch Gorm has always attracted special attention from whisky fans, especially given that just 15,500 bottles have been released. The 2020 edition, is made up of 21 oloroso sherry butts filled in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2011. A beautiful combination of peat smoke, citrus sweetness and the rich influence of the oloroso sherry casks.
