Character

The Loch Gorm 2015 has a distinctly classic Islay profile: robust smoke, rich sherry, deep sweetness, and a robust, old-fashioned character. Compared to later editions, this release is darker, heavier, and fuller , making it particularly popular with collectors and aficionados of powerful sherry bombs.

Why interesting for collectors

• Early Loch Gorm release (phase when Kilchoman was much smaller)

• Low mintage and very hard to find in top condition

• Fully sherry matured, always sought after

• Strong reputation for its rich, dark style
