Kilchoman 4 Years Sanaig
Sanaig was originally supposed to be a permanently available bottling. But now the stock is so low, that this bottle is only available sporadically in the most important markets. The Single Malt was created in 4 to 5 years old Bourbon casks. Additionally Oloroso sherry casks were used. Significantly more, than with the Machir Bay bottling.

Named after a rocky inlet in the northwest of Islay, Kilchoman Sanaig is the distillery's second NAS core range bottling beside 'Machir Bay'. What a flattering nose! Cooked fruits, cloves and bonfire smoke harmonize with toffee, marshmallows and hints of salt. After a mouth-watering and warming arrival, the sherry cask influence becomes more prominent. Imagine peaty sweetness, wood tannins, brine and lemon zest, lingering on the palate for endless minutes. Almost reminiscent of Lagavulin DE, this young Single Malt scores with quality and character.
