As the 4th edition of its Cask Evolution series, the US importer ImpEx released this single cask in spring 2017. The whisky, distilled from farm-grown barley (100% Islay), was first matured for just over 4 years in a Buffalo Trace bourbon barrel and was then decanted into an Oloroso sherry hogshead on 21 December 2015 and finished in this for 15 months.

*The sister casks in the warehouse in June 2017.* *Cask no. 721/2011 has already been bottled by then.*

As is so often the case with Kilchoman single cask bottlings, cask 714/2011 is one of a series of sister casks (here: Casks No. 714/2011 – 721/2011 with Oloroso Sherry finishes from 8 to 45 months; see: Kilchomania database), which have been bottled for various markets worldwide and allow Kilchoman friends to make interesting comparisons if they manage to acquire the bottlings from the various countries.
