"A creation of the late Dr Jim Swan, STR refers to a specific formula for the Shaving, Toasting and Re-Charring casks. A total of 43 casks filled in 2012 were selected by Anthony Wills, Kilchoman’s Founder and Managing Director, bottled at a strength of 50% abv without chill-filtration or colouring. The process of shaving, toasting and re-charring has had a huge influence on these casks and the flavours of the resulting single malt. Tasting Notes from the Distillery. Nose: Summer fruits with a hearty measure of cinnamon spice, toffee and gentle peat smoke. Palate: Soft caramel at first with layers of red berries, lemon tart and earthy peat smoke. Finish: Long with a pronounced spice, honey and caramel notes. " - Kilchoman Website.
