Kilchoman 2012 Comparison Series Batch #1 2 x 70cl / UK 

Opened in 2005, Kilchoman was the first new distillery to be built on Islay for 124 years. Its proprietors are the Wills family, and the distillery saw a return of the practice of “farm distilling” to the island, with its own barely fields, malt floors and kilns. Today around 25% of its barley requirement is self-fulfilled, and in 2011 they bottled their first 100% Islay release of single farm, single malt. The distillery’s first release came in 2009, and it has cemented a fine reputation ever since.

Realised in April 2021, these two bottles make-up Batch #1 of The Comparison Series. Each of the two spirits were distilled in November 2012 and aged in a pair of ex-Buffalo Trace Bourbon barrels. Cask #719 was made using 100% Islay grown barley and cask #726 was made from barley hailing from the Port Ellan maltings. Both casks were bottled on 25th February 2021.

  • Kilchoman 2012 Single Bourbon Cask #719 55.7% 70cl One of 216 bottles.
  • Kilchoman 2012 Single Bourbon Cask #726 55.4% 70cl One of 259 bottles.

Batch #1 from the series was made exclusive to the United Kingdom.

This lot will include a two bottle shipping fee.
