Kilchoman Mezcal Single Cask Finish 832/2012 for The Distillery Shop

During Fèis Ìle 2022, a new Distillery Shop Exclusive bottling also hit the shelves of the Kilchoman Visitor Centre. It is a Mezcal Cask Finish, one year after the first Kilchoman Mezcal Finish release, which was released in May 2021, thus completing the dozen of these bottlings worldwide.

According to the information on the packaging, the whisky was initially matured for more than 8 years in a fresh ex-bourbon barrel before being finished in a mezcal cask for seventeen month. To be precise with the help of the Kilchomania cask database: after almost 8 years of maturation in a 1st fill ex-bourbon barrel the whisky was decanted into a mezcal cask on 6 November 2020 and bottled after almost 19 months of finishing on 27 May 2022.

This is by far the longest mezcal finishing time of any Kilchoman whisky to date.

229 bottles with an alcohol content of 53.0% abv were released.
