The Sauternes Cask Matured 2024 Edition, the third limited release of this cask type was bottled at the end of May 2024. It’s been fully aged in ex-Sauternes wine casks for over 5 years and comes in at 50% ABV. To get just the right balance between the Sauternes cask influence and that classic Kilchoman character, founder and master blender Anthony Wills went with a good mix of second-fill Sauternes casks. He picked 22% first-fill and 78% second-fill casks from 2017 and 2018. Fun fact: most of the second-fill casks used were finishing casks from the 2018 release, resulting in a tasty blend of buttery sweetness, barbecued pineapple, candied ginger, and floral peat smoke. 

Nose: Creamy, buttery notes with ripe fruits, a hint of salty sea air and subtle peat smoke. Palate: Butterscotch and floral notes combine with tropical and candied fruits with integrated peat smoke flowing throughout. Finish: Sweetness continues onto the finish, balanced with clean lingering smoke and rich texture.
