Following a magnificent Kilchoman Oloroso sherry cask bottling as No. 01/2024 and a Sauternes finish as No. 02/2024, US importer ImpEx Beverages continued its renowned Cask Evolution series with a 100% Islay release as the third and final bottling of 2024.

No. 03/2024 is a whisky distilled in 2014 from the farm’s own barley and produced entirely at Kilchoman ‘from barley to bottle’, which was matured for nearly 10 years in an ex-Buffalo Trace bourbon barrel.
