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 hogshead. 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: a part of it had already been bottled on 15.11.2012 for World of Whisky in Switzerland, on 22.2.2013 it was used for a release for Spiriteca in Hong Kong and the remaining 42 bottles were sold in the distillery shop.

Such cask splits were not uncommon in the early years of Kilchoman, as smaller markets, where Kilchoman was just starting to gain a foothold, often only required smaller quantities.
