This limited release offers a bold expression of Kilchoman’s craft, bottled at a robust 57.8% ABV to preserve its purest essence.

On the palate, Sanaig Cask Strength bursts with character, featuring waves of rich peat smoke interwoven with the sweetness of cooked fruits. Layers of dark caramel, dried figs, and subtle spices unfold, leading to a luxurious, long-lasting finish with a velvety texture. The higher strength accentuates its complexity, showcasing the sherry influence with depth and balance while maintaining Kilchoman’s signature smoky backbone.
Best enjoyed neat for a powerful, unfiltered experience or with a dash of water to release its aromatic layers, this limited-edition Scotch whisky is a treasure for aficionados. Its intense flavor profile and connection to Islay’s tradition make it a captivating choice for those seeking a full-bodied, cask-strength indulgence.
