Kilchoman 100% Islay Sherry Hogshead Finish 720/2011 for The Distillery Shop

A new Distillery Shop Exclusive Release has now appeared in the Kilchoman Visitor Centre.

It is a bottling of an ex-bourbon barrel in which the whisky, made from the farm’s own barley, was initially matured for just over 4 years before being decanted into an Oloroso sherry hogshead on 21 December 2015 and finished in this for 32 months.

By the way, a vatting of the sister casks 717, 718 and 719/2011, which were also decanted after 4 years in Oloroso Sherry Hogsheads, was already released in September 2016 as a Distillery Shop Exclusive Release with an eight-month Oloroso finish.

Apart from the Distillery Shop Exclusive Releases listed here, three other bottlings of sister casks were released in the USA (Cask No. 721/2011), Australia (Cask No. 716/2011) and Taiwan (Cask No. 714/2011).
