Islay Barley Showdown: Port Charlotte Islay Barley Vs Kilchoman 100% Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

In this video I wanted to compare two different takes on peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky made with Islay Barley. First up is one of my favourite whiskies of the last year, the 100% Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 10th Edition from the Kilchoman Distillery on Islay. In June I was lucky enough to get to visit Islay's farm distillery and enjoyed an opportunity to see the fields where they grow their barley. The Kilchoman 100% Islay 10th Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky is matured in a combination of 39 Ex-Bourbon barrels and 2 Oloroso Sherry Butts. It is bottled at 50% ABV, is non-chill filtered and natural colour. The whisky I am comparing it too in this showdown comes from what is most likely my favourite distillery on Islay, the Bruichladdich Distillery. The whisky challenging the Kilchoman 100% Islay for Islay Barley supremacy is Bruichladdich's Port Charlotte Islay Barley 2012 Heavily Peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky. This whisky is 6 years old, bottled at 50% ABV, is non-chill filtered and natural colour ad age in a combination of 1st fill ex-bourbon and 2nd fill wine casks. There are some major differences between these but potentially the largest is that the Kilchoman 100% Islay, unlike their other releases, is only peated to a level of 20PPM where the Port Charlotte has a predistillation Phenol level of 40PPM. Which Islay Barley Scotch whisky will come out on top in this battle? Watch along to find out! Thanks a always for watching. Cheers.
