The US Kilchoman importer ImpEx Beverages released this Calvados finish release within its Cask Evolution series. It was released – as is not uncommon in COVID times – somewhat late, at the beginning of 2021. Moreover, the label has an error: there is no Cask Evolution 01/2020 and 02/2020, apart from a 14-year old special edition, this was the first 2020 release in the series.

The whisky was matured in a Buffalo Trace Bourbon barrel for more than seven years before being finished in a Calvados hogshead for 8 months.
