This bottling, which was released during Fèis Ìle 2018, comes in two variants. As a “Be a (ultimate) bottler” bottle and with modified bottle labels as a “normal” Distillery Shop Exclusive Release.

“Be a bottler” is a popular Fèis Ìle programme item at Kilchoman Open Days, where visitors can fill their own personal bottles of Kilchoman whisky at the bottling line. This is usually the standard release Machir Bay, but at Fèis Ìle 2018 there was also the “Be an ultimate Bottler” programme item where you could fill bottles of the red wine cask 497/2012 on 31 May 2018.

The remainder after this event, i.e. most of the cask contents, was then sold in August 2018 at the Kilchoman Visitor Centre as a Distillery Shop Exclusive Release.
