A swift take on my third sample: An excellent dram. However, it doesn't deviate much from the typical Kilchoman character. While I'm very fond of Kilchoman, many of their recent releases seem quite similar. I miss the diverse profile of something like the Red Wine Cask Finish, which offered more variety.
