The very active Whisky Club Italia released this Kilchoman single cask bottling, among others, to mark its 10th anniversary in the summer of 2025.

This was another bottling from one of the few remaining casks from Anthony Wills’ finishing experiment with new oak (formerly ‘virgin oak’ – we reported).

The whisky was first matured for five years in a fresh STR cask (shaved, toasted & re-charred ex-red wine cask) and then matured for 25 months in a new cask made from Carpathian oak (European oak from the Carpathian Mountains). As with the other STR Cask Matured / New Oak Finish bottlings, the result is an extremely spicy-tasting Kilchoman whisky.

Club members can purchase the bottles for €119.
