This Kilchoman Single Cask Release for the Chinese Kilchoman importer Single Malt Club China (SMCC), bottled at the end of 2018, was not only the world’s first Kilchoman STR Cask Finish but also the first Kilchoman bottling ever of this cask type developed by James Swan. The STR Cask Matured Limited Release was only released in May 2019, the next STR Cask Finish in February 2020.

The whisky was initially matured in a fresh ex-bourbon barrel for almost 6 years and was decanted into an STR cask (a Shaved, Toasted & Re-charred ex-Red Wine cask) on 27.3.2018, where it was finished for seven and a half months.
