.

This Kilchoman single cask bottling for New York City was released in mid-2016. The whisky was matured in a fresh ex-bourbon barrel for just under six years.

The exceptionally high alcohol content of 63.2% can be explained by a mistake made by James Wills, who had to help out on 29 June 2010, in not diluting the distillate down to the usual 63.5% before filling the casks.
