In 2013, Kilchoman released this Small Batch bottling for the UK market. It was also sold in the Kilchoman Distillery Shop, but is not a Distillery Exclusive Release. An unknown number of fresh bourbon barrels (probably four) were finished in fresh oloroso sherry butts.

Kilchoman had already released a similar bottling on 4 November 2013 as a Small Batch Release for The Kilchoman Club, 2nd Edition from eight 1st fill ex-bourbon barrels, which were finished in fresh Oloroso sherry butts. Both bottlings were created from a series of casks that were filled in October 2008 and bottled in November 2013. They even have the same alcohol content and are indistinguishable in terms of flavour.
