Kilchoman 2008 Vintage Release


7th September 2015

Kilchoman Vintage 2008, the most mature expression to be released since the distillery started filling casks in 2005.

The Kilchoman Distillery today released Kilchoman 2008 Vintage, the first ever general release of seven year old single malt from the distillery and the most mature expression to be released since they started filling casks in 2005.

The Limited Edition 2008 Vintage is a vatting of fresh ex American bourbon barrels filled in July 2008 and bottled in August 2015. This is the latest in a continuation of the by-annually released Vintage range, the distillery having previously bottled 2006 and 2007 Vintages.

Anthony Wills, Kilchoman Founder and Managing Director commented: "The 2008 Vintage is a classic bourbon barrel aged Kilchoman however the additional maturation has added layers of soft fruit and sweetness not seen in previous releases. This latest vintage release makes me very excited about the future development of Kilchoman single malt."

The Kilchoman 2008 Vintage was bottled at 46% ABV and will be available from specialist whisky shops such as The Whisky Exchange with an RRP of £55.50 while stocks last.
