Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 57.8% ABV (115.6 Proof) | 700 mL

Process & Profile

Kilchoman Sanaig Cask Strength is a bold, amped-up version of the distillery’s popular Sanaig expression. Bottled at 57.8% ABV, this limited edition maintains the same core composition—a marriage of bourbon barrel and Oloroso sherry cask maturation—but forgoes dilution to offer an intensified flavor experience. Produced using locally grown barley and distilled on-site at Kilchoman’s farm distillery on Islay, this release retains its natural color and is non-chill filtered.
