The US importer ImpEx Beverages released three new single cask bottlings in its renowned Cask Evolution series in August 2023. With No. 02/2023 listed here, ImpEx Beverages presented one of the world’s very first Kilchoman Blanc de Blancs wine cask maturations and, after a recent bottling of cask no. 1102/2016 for the Liquor Store Brown Jug from Alaska, already the second in the USA. The whisky first matured for almost 6 years in a bourbon barrel and was decanted on 8/8/2022 into a Blanc de Blancs wine cask from Champagne in which it was finished for 11 months.

On 13.7.2023, cask no. 1108/2016 was still slumbering in the Kilchoman warehouse (!) before it was bottled a few days later. So the bottling date given on the label is wrong. Picture by HPN
