New in the Visitor Centre: Marsala Single Cask Finish 1180/2016

A new Distillery Shop Exclusive release has been available at the Kilchoman Visitor Centre since yesterday. The Marsala Single Cask Finish is the ‘Be a Bottler’ cask from this year’s Fèis Ìle.

The whisky was initially matured in a fresh bourbon barrel for almost 7 years and was decanted into a Marsala wine cask from the Florio winery in Marsala on 7 September 2023 and finished in it for almost 9 months.

“Be a bottler” is a popular Fèis Ìle programme item at the Kilchoman Open Days, where visitors can fill their very own bottles of Kilchoman whisky. In the past, this usually involved the standard Machir Bay release, but since Fèis Ìle 2018, the offer has been extended to single casks.

The remaining bottles of the respective cask are then always sold as a Distillery Shop Exclusive Release.
