On December 14, 2005, Kilchoman filled the first seven casks in its history. Like cask No. 03/2007 listed here, casks No. 02–06/2007 were Private Casks, and contrary to what some fake bottlings circulating suggest, they were all refill bourbon barrels and not Sauternes casks. Lord Margadale was one of the early Kilchoman investors who had this cask bottled in early 2017 at the age of 11 years. Not only because it is one of the very few 2005 Kilchoman casks, but also because no bottles ever reached the market, this is one of the rarest Kilchoman bottlings.
