The wine and spirits shop Kensington Wine Market from Calgary in Alberta has regularly released Kilchoman single cask bottlings since 2010. The bottling of a nearly 5-year-old 1st Fill Oloroso Sherry Butt that appeared here at the end of 2011 was the second Kilchoman Single Cask Release by Kensington Wine Market.
The Oloroso Sherry Butt 322/2006 was a so-called “split cask”. That means that the present bottling was only filled with a part of the contents, the other part was bottled 13 days later for the German Tasting Tour 2011. Especially in the early Kilchoman days, when the individual markets did not yet require such high bottle numbers, it was a common practice to split the contents of the large 500 litre sherry butts between two or three bottlings.
