After two good 5-year-old ex-bourbon barrels had been bottled for K&L Wines from San Francisco in December 2013, two just under 5-year-old ex-bourbon barrels with 100% Islay whisky followed in June 2014.

In the 100% Islay production line, which is somewhat weaker peated at approx. 20 ppm, it is known that all production steps from barley to bottle – from the cultivation and harvesting of the barley to the bottling – are carried out exclusively by Kilchoman itself and justify their self-image of a farm distillery. As the whisky of the two December casks was made from 50 ppm peated malt from the Port Ellen Maltings, K&L Wines gave its customers the nice opportunity to compare similarly aged bourbon barrels of the two differently peated Kilchoman product lines.

In addition to the cask listed here, the sister cask 344/2009 was also bottled on 2 June 2014.
