March 28, 2017: Kilchoman announces that the entire bottling of Cask No. 142/2006 has been stolen and asks anyone offered a bottle of this bottling for sale to contact the distillery immediately. The entire edition of 257 bottles was sent to its owner in the Birmingham area in the summer of 2016, but due to a wrong address the delivery was lost. After the police completed their investigation and only 3 bottles reappeared, the distillery decided to go public. Anthony Wills wrote:»We went public once it became clear the bottles weren’t going to be recovered. Ten-year-old private single cask bottlings of Kilchoman are retailing for up to £150 including VAT, giving the haul a potential value of over £38,000.«
