After the Chinese Kilchoman importer Single Malt Club China (SMCC) had already released five Kilchoman single cask bottlings in mid-2023, it filled its annual Kilchoman single cask quota with four more bottlings at the end of the year.

The four bottlings were two further Sauternes wine cask finishes, a further Ruby Port cask finish and a full maturation in a Pedro Ximénez sherry cask.

In the PX sherry cask maturation listed here, the whisky was matured for a good 8 years in a Pedro Ximénez sherry hogshead.

The bottling was released exclusively for the 7th edition of the “Nordeast Asia Ice Racing Carnival”, which started on 25 December 2023 in the Chinese city of Yanji. Kilchoman Distillery is sponsoring the Ice Racing Tour for the fifth time, this year for the first time with a limited edition bottling.

300 of the 318 bottles of the release will be sold jointly by the Single Malt Club China and Rootspace, the remaining 18 bottles will be collected in the SMCC Whisky Museum and have an official price of 2,023 Yuan.
