Kilchoman Vintage 2008 announced

Kilchoman today announced the release of their first ever 7 year old whisky. From Monday 7 September 2015, 10am Islay Time, Vintage 2008 will be available in the distillery shop. It is vatting from ex-bourbon barrels filled in July 2008 and bottled in September 2015. After the Vintage 2006 in 2011 and the Vintage 2007 in 2013, Kilchoman thus continued its Vintage series, which is released every two years.

The bottling, limited to one bottle per person, will be available in the distillery’s online shop for £55.50, and will also be available at retailers worldwide in the coming weeks.

Kilchoman founder and managing director Anthony Wills wrote: “The 2008 Vintage is a classic bourbon barrel aged Kilchoman however the additional maturation has added layers of soft fruit and sweetness not seen in previous releases. This latest vintage release makes me very excited about the future development of Kilchoman single malt.”
