At the end of 2012 / beginning of 2013, Kilchoman released a dozen single cask bottlings for its various global markets that were matured in sherry hogsheads. All of them were distilled in early November 2007, so they were pretty much 5 years old at the time of bottling.

The contents of cask 447/2007 were used for three different bottlings at once: part had already been bottled on 15.11.2012 for World of Whisky in Switzerland, then on 22.2.2013 the remaining part was bottled for the release listed here for Spiriteca in Hong Kong and for the distillery shop (the remaining 42 bottles).

Such cask splits were nothing unusual, especially in the early years of Kilchoman, as smaller markets, where Kilchoman was just starting to gain a foothold, often only needed smaller numbers of bottles.
