When Kilchoman began to open up foreign markets step by step with its first bottlings from the end of 2009, the national importers Alba Import in Germany, FC Whisky in Denmark, ImpEx Beverages in the USA, La Maison du Whisky in France, Sun Favorite Ltd in Taiwan, Whisk-e Ltd in Japan and Whisky Import Nederland were among the most active partner companies that built up the Kilchoman brand in the respective countries and released the first Kilchoman single cask bottlings.
Whisky Import Nederland (WIN) released a whopping 12 Kilchoman single cask releases for the Netherlands between 2010 and 2014, before Bresser & Timmer became the Dutch Kilchoman importer in 2015.
The bottling listed here, released in mid-2014, was the tenth Kilchoman single cask bottling by Whisky Import Nederland. This was one of the first Kilchoman PX finish bottlings ever, it was only in early 2014 that Kilchoman had started to release Pedro Ximénez sherry cask finishes. The whisky was first matured for over five years in a fresh ex-bourbon barrel and was then finished in a Pedro Ximénez sherry hogshead. As with many of the early Kilchoman PX finishes of 2014, the finishing period was not specified.
