Kilchoman New Spirit is excellent this year. I got to try some of this last year when it first came out (the distillery only opened in 2005) and didn't think much of it. but after trying the newest batch that was produced in July I'm thoroughly impressed.
It's not technicaly whisky yet since it hasn't been aged long enough, and it's only available in 5cl bottles, but it's well worth a try if you can find it. I think the first batch of 5yr will be coming out in 2011, but i have a feeling it'll disappear quick.
anyhow i just thought i'd give some of the whisky drinkers a heads up. it has a phenol content that's coming in at 50ppm, and right now it's being bottled at a whopping 63.5% ABV. yet it still remains surprisingly smooth. I'm going to shoot them an email and see if they can't send me a 70cl bottle.
