Eleven years of aging brings together rich dried fruit, chocolate, oak spice, and Kilchoman's distinctive Islay smoke. It is made using heavily peated barley sourced from Port Ellen Maltings at a malt specification of 50 ppm, with sherry-cask sweetness providing a counterpoint to the smoky spirit — raisins, dark fruit, roasted nuts, and warming spice. The sherry-focused bottling within a collection that also includes 14-, 18-, and 20-year-old expressions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bonfire smoke, raisins, and orange peel, with dark chocolate, roasted nuts, and coastal freshness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich dried fruit and treacle, layered with cocoa, smoky malt, and warming oak spice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and smoky, with dark-fruit sweetness, peppery spice, and a touch of salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDistillery: Kilchoman, Islay, Scotland\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky (Family Collection 1st Edition, heavily peated)\u003cbr\u003eAge: 11 Years\u003cbr\u003eCasks: Ex-Oloroso sherry butts (full maturation)\u003cbr\u003eMalt: Port Ellen, ~50 ppm\u003cbr\u003eABV: 54.7% (109.4 proof), non-chill filtered, natural colour\u003cbr\u003eSize: 700mL\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/scotch\"\u003eScotch collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it fully sherry matured or sherry finished?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFully matured in ex-Oloroso sherry butts for 11 years — the sherry casks provide the entire maturation, not a separate finishing stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it heavily peated?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — made from heavily peated barley supplied by Port Ellen Maltings at approximately 50 ppm (a malt specification before distillation).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does 1st Edition mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt identifies the inaugural Family Collection, launched in 2026, featuring casks selected by the founding Wills family, with separate expressions aged 11, 14, 18, and 20 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is it fully sherry matured or sherry finished?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Fully matured in ex-Oloroso sherry butts for 11 years, the sherry casks provide the entire maturation, not a separate finishing stage.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is it heavily peated?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes, made from heavily peated barley supplied by Port Ellen Maltings at approximately 50 ppm (a malt specification before distillation).\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What does 1st Edition mean?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"It identifies the inaugural Family Collection, launched in 2026, featuring casks selected by the founding Wills family, with separate expressions aged 11, 14, 18, and 20 years.\"}}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"Kilchoman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68063804752240,"sku":"50602110709457","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0276\/1621\/5176\/files\/KilchomanFamilyCollection14YearSingleMaltScotchWhisky1stEditio.webp?v=1793218016","url":"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/products\/kilchoman-family-collection-11-year-scotch-1st","provider":"Wooden Cork","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
