   Kilchoman 3 yo 'Inaugural 100% Islay' (50%, OB 2011) 

Nose: a powerful attack displaying an almost aggressive youthfulness. Instant lemon / grapefruit aromas,
slightly synthetic rhubarb and intense coal smoke. Some grainy vanilla biscuits. Chalk. Faint medicinal notes as well.
Mouth: sweet, peaty and smoky. Initially there are the medicinal notes again, but these evolve into softer, sweeter notes.
Roasted grain cookies and lemon zest again. Apples.
Finish: medium long, peaty with a fruity sweetness and whiffs of pepper.

Kilchoman 3 yo 'Spring 2011 release' (46%, OB 2011) 

Nose: sweet peat mixed with fruity notes. The peat is maybe not as heavy as you would think. Ashes and tarry ropes.
Soaked grains. Pear drops and kiwi. Pencils. Quite good.
Mouth: sweet and oily, but the attack is remarkably "open", as if it only starts to speak after ten seconds. Not much grip,
so to speak. After that, it gets briney and peaty. The aftertaste is more fruity again.
Finish: smoky and rather early, with hinls of olives.
