"Maury is a naturally sweet fortified wine from the AOC of the same name in Roussillon (southern France), made primarily from Grenache Noir grapes harvested overripe. Maury casks tend to impart intense dried fruit, fig, prune, and an oxidative background. Kilchoman describes the profile as a balance between that dense sweetness and the distillery’s characteristic peat smoke: dates, raisins and dark honey held together by a citrus thread. The distillery also notes a striking crimson red hue to the whisky, unusual for an Islay single malt. Founder Anthony Wills said: “The Maury Cask Matured is a first-ever release for us and something rarely seen on the market at all. These powerful fortified wine casks can be challenging to manage, but when you get them right, they can produce something really special.”
Tasting notes
Nose: Figs, raisins, and dates with salted caramel, orange peel, and soft peat smoke.
Palate: Pipe smoke and dark chocolate with layers of treacle and warming spices.
Finish: Dried fruits, cacao, earthy peat smoke, and a gentle dry spice."
