This Ruby Port Quarter Cask bottling was released in Taiwan at the end of 2020. The whisky was first matured for over 7 years in a Buffalo Trace Bourbon Barrel (No. 251/2012) and was then finished for eight months in a Ruby Port Quarter Cask.

The cask filling date on the label is incorrect. The correct date is 3 May 2012, the error is easily explained by the fact that 4 April 2013 is a typical filling date on the label of some other Kilchoman Port Quarter Cask bottlings, which the label designer forgot to change here.

The sister cask 2511/2012, into which the second half of the bourbon barrel 251/2012 was decanted, was also bottled on 14 September 2020 and was released (with the same error on the label) for Hong Fu Whisky in Singapore.
