New Bottling for The Islay Pipe Band released: Octave Single Cask

Just in time for Feis Ìle 2014, a new bottling for the Islay Pipe Band has now been released. As is well known, the Kilchoman Distillery has been a sponsor of the Islay Pipe Band since early 2012 and supports the band, amongst other things, with an annual bottling, the proceeds from the sale of which go entirely to the band.

A very special cask has been selected for the 2014 release: an Octave Cask numbered 581/2010, filled on 7 October 2010 and bottled on 22 May 2014. Due to the small size of the Octave cask, the run is limited to just 126 bottles, which are bottled at cask strength (60.5 %) and sold exclusively at the Visitor Centre.

This is the first Kilchoman release from one of the 132 Octave casks (correctly: Quarter Casks) made from bourbon cask staves, which Kilchoman had filled in October 2010 as an initial maturation experiment.
