In the early years of the Kilchoman distillery, FC Whisky Denmark was one of the most active national importers. From 2010 to 2015, it released 11 Kilchoman single cask bottlings for the Danish market.

The bottling listed here, released at the end of 2010, was the third Kilchoman release by FC Whisky Denmark. After two 3-year-old bottlings from ex-bourbon casks, an Oloroso Sherry release was presented for the first time.

The Oloroso Sherry Butt 316/2006 was a so-called “split cask”. This means that only a part of the contents was used for this bottling, the other part was bottled on the same day for the Japanese whisky fair 11th Whisky Live! 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.
