Kilchoman Sanaig Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

Kilchoman Sanaig is an exceptional Islay single malt whisky that beautifully highlights the influence of sherry cask maturation. Named after a picturesque rocky inlet close to the distillery, Sanaig reflects Kilchoman’s unique balance of robust peat smoke and the rich, fruity depth imparted by sherry casks. This expression is a testament to Kilchoman’s meticulous craftsmanship and dedication to producing authentic Islay whiskies.
