Kilchoman UK Small Batch No. 1 released
Following releases for Finland, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium, the first bottling for Great Britain has now been launched a few days ago in the new series of Small Batch Releases for Selected Markets, with which Kilchoman aims to showcase its experimental side. Each of the individual batches has been specially created for individual countries and shows the influence of different cask types on the maturation of Kilchoman whisky.
The basis of each bottling is an already finished Machir Bay vatting or Machir Bay Collaborative Vatting, i.e. a whisky with 46% alcohol strength, which has previously been matured for 3-5 years mainly in bourbon casks and 5-15% in Oloroso sherry casks. This vatting is then married with an additional special cask.
For the UK Small Batch No. 1 the additional cask is a Madeira Hogshead. The shares are stated as 70% Bourbon, 5% Sherry and 25% Madeira.
