With this rare single cask bottling of a 100% Islay New Spirit, the Japanese Kilchoman importer Whisk-e Ltd introduced its customers to the Kilchoman distillery product line for the first time in mid-2011, in which all production steps “from barley to bottle” are carried out on site and which constitute Kilchoman’s pride and self-image as Islay’s farm distillery. The distillate matured for two and a half years in an ex-bourbon barrel. This was followed in early 2012 by the first 100% Islay for Japan, which was allowed to call itself whisky because of its age of over 3 years (Cask No. 96/2008).
