As already for the 10th Whisky Live!, a special Kilchoman was bottled for the eleventh edition of the well-known Japanese whisky fair. After a 3-year-old bottling from the ex-bourbon barrel, an Oloroso Sherry cask release was presented this time.

The Oloroso Sherry Butt 316/2006 was a so-called “split cask”. This means that only part of the contents was used for this bottling, the other part was bottled on the same day for the Danish market. Especially in the early days of Kilchoman, when the individual markets did not yet require such a large number of bottles, it was a common practice to divide the contents of the large 500 litre sherry butts between two or three bottlings.
