Between 2005 and 2007, Kilchoman sold numerous casks to private individuals in order to obtain urgently needed capital for the distillery’s ongoing operations during the economically strained early years. These were almost exclusively 1st fill and 2nd fill bourbon barrels.
Later, they tried to buy back as many of these casks as possible, as the stocks of whisky from the first years had quickly become very scarce. This buy-back programme was only moderately successful, however, and most owners kept their casks and usually had them bottled after the original agreed storage period of 10 years. So there was a great wave of Kilchoman Private Cask bottlings in 2016 and 2017.

The restaurant and hotel Länsmansgården Ådalen in Lugnvik, Sweden, specialises not only in family celebrations and corporate conferences but also in whisky events, such as tastings and excursions to the nearby High Coast Distillery. Anders Jonasson, the restaurant’s whisky specialist, was one of the six founders of the High Coast Distillery.

The Kilchoman Private Cask listed here was bottled by Länsmansgården in 2019 at the age of eleven and a half years.
