I wonder if we will be able to tell by the label which year the Kilchoman Machir Bay is from or maybe it will have a batch number  |

Asked Kilchoman this question and here is what they said
"Yes, there is 2012 written on the front label and box.... Which will become 2013 for next years release." |

I would guess it is more to keep a flow of money coming in until the maturing stock comes of age. With a year on the bottle and box it will also keep the collectors happy and act as a count down until the stock gets to Kilchomans target age whatever that may be. |

| I think it would be similar idea to the aberlour a bunadh with the different batches, and would let you taste the malt as it gets older and matures! |
