Kilchoman Club Release 3rd Edition announced

Kilchoman has today announced the release of its third club release. The bottling, which is reserved for Kilchoman Club members, will go on sale in the distillery’s online shop on 1 December 2014 for £75.

This year’s edition is something very special. It is the first Kilchoman whisky to be matured in Madeira casks. Distilled on 11 February 2010 and bottled on 24 November 2014, the whisky was matured for over 4 years in two fresh Madeira casks. The edition is 610 bottles, bottled at cask strength of 58.4% abv.

Anthony Wills wrote about this release: »We filled a small number of Madeira casks in early 2010 as a bit of an experiment and we are very happy with the results; the strong, robust Madeira maturation has certainly made its presence felt, that said the spirit retains a lot of the classic Kilchoman characteristics. I wanted to offer our members something they wouldn’t have tried from us before. It’s a shame we couldn’t have made more bottles available but we need to retain some stock for future releases.«
