Due to a breakdown of the kiln Kilchoman produced an “unpeated” whisky from the farm’s own barley for a short time in late Summer 2012 (we reported).
Since the “low wines and feints receiver” from which the spirit still is filled was not laboriously emptied in between the alternating distillation runs with peaty Port Ellen malt, however, the result was a whisky with a slight peaty smoke note, which is why Kilchoman uses the term “unpeated” in quotation marks. 75 casks were filled with this rarity.

The Chinese Kilchoman importer Single Malt Club China (SMCC) released the bottling of one of these casks listed here in 2021. The whisky was matured for more than 8 years in an Oloroso sherry hogshead.
