Kilchoman Sanaig Single Malt Islay Scotch Whisky

Islay's Sherry-Driven Powerhouse

Kilchoman Sanaig is the heavily sherried expression from Islay's farm distillery — a whisky that takes the distillery's signature peated character and wraps it in a rich, indulgent blanket of Oloroso sherry influence. Named after a rocky bay on the northwest coast of Islay, Sanaig is matured predominantly in Oloroso sherry casks with a smaller proportion of bourbon casks, creating a whisky of remarkable depth and complexity. At Kilchoman, everything is done on-site — from malting and distilling to bottling — making it one of the most authentically craft distilleries in Scotland.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Rich and complex — dark dried fruit, Oloroso sherry sweetness, and a warming Islay peat smoke with hints of dark chocolate, espresso, and a subtle coastal brine
• Palate: Full and layered — raisins, toffee, and a bold peat smoke with a velvety sherry richness and a warming spice that builds beautifully across the palate
• Finish: Long and warming with lingering smoke, dried fruit, dark chocolate, and a clean, maritime fade
