Description
A proud moment for all at the distillery as we release our oldest global bottling to date. Anthony and Robin have spent the last few years keeping a close eye on these early casks, waiting for the right moment to vat them together and form our momentous Kilchoman 16 Years Old. They eventually settled on a combination 21 casks, predominantly ex-bourbon barrels with a hint of ex-oloroso sherry, creating a perfectly balanced single malt.
“This is a landmark release for the distillery, the oldest global bottling we have done to date at 16 years of age. I look forward to Kilchoman fans around the world tasting this outstanding whisky and experience the evolving character of our single malt.” Anthony Wills, Kilchoman Founder
