This bottling for the Single Malt Aficionados Club of the wine and spirits merchant D&M Wines & Liquors from San Francisco was released in summer 2014. This time, D&M presented a Kilchoman whisky matured for four and a half years in an Oloroso Sherry Butt for the members of its customer club.

The Oloroso Sherry Butt 451/2009 was a so-called “split cask”. This means that only part of the contents was used for this bottling, the other part was bottled on the same day for the Taiwanese Kilchoman importer Sun Favorite Ltd. Especially in the early Kilchoman days, when the individual markets did not yet require such high bottle numbers, it was a common practice to divide the contents of the large 500 litre sherry butts between two or three bottlings.
