  Kilchoman 2006/2010 Single Cask FC Whisky Denmark 3 Islay Whisky 59,9%

  Item no.: 22227865411-3

  November 2006 was still the distillery's first year, and this sherry butt is one of the very earliest testimonies to how Kilchoman sounded before the world had really discovered them.

  Expert's description

  Kilchoman 2006/2010 Single Cask FC Whisky Denmark 3 is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 4 years old from a single sherry butt and bottled at cask strength, 59.9 %.

  The whisky was distilled on 8 November 2006, just over a year after Kilchoman was founded, and matured for four years in a single sherry butt — cask number 316 — before being bottled on 10 November 2010. It is the third release in the former FC Whisky Denmark series.

  Because it comes from a sherry butt, one of the largest cask types in the whisky world, the spirit gets far more contact surface with the wood than in smaller casks, giving a deeper, spicier sherry character after just four years.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Rich sherry sweetness meets dark fruit and peat smoke, with a hint of toasted nuts and spice.

  Palate

  Full and spiced at cask strength, with sherry sweetness, dark chocolate and a distinct, well-balanced peat smoke.

  Finish

  Long and warm, with lingering smoke and a final trace of raisin and oak.

  Investment potential

  High. This whisky comes from Kilchoman's very first year of operation and is part of a now-discontinued series of single casks for the Danish market, making it hard to find again.

  Did you know?

  A sherry butt typically holds around 500 litres, markedly more than most bourbon casks — giving the spirit more room to breathe, but also a different, more gradual cask influence than in a smaller cask.

  Kilchoman Spring 2011 Release Islay whisky 46%

  Item no.: 22227865411-10

  Before Machir Bay got its name and its permanent spot in the range, Kilchoman released whisky in seasonal glimpses — one release for spring, another for summer. Spring 2011 is one of the last chapters in that era, before the distillery found its steady course.

  Expert's description

  Kilchoman Spring 2011 Release is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, bottled at 46 %.

  In the years following its 2005 founding, Kilchoman regularly released small, season-named bottlings — Autumn 2009, Spring 2010, Summer 2010, Winter 2010 and finally Spring 2011 — each a snapshot from a distillery still finding its identity. All sold out shortly after launch.

  In 2012, Kilchoman decided to gather its standard release under one name, Machir Bay, and the season-named releases became history. Spring 2011 is therefore one of the last bottles from this period still to be found.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Young, fresh peat smoke meets citrus peel and a hint of vanilla sweetness, with a light saline undercurrent of sea breeze.

  Palate

  Direct and energetic, with peppery smoke, honey and a touch of green apple that gives a fresh counterpoint to the intensity.

  Finish

  Medium length, dry and smoky, with a final trace of citrus and wood.

  Investment potential

  Medium. The season-named releases from 2009-2011 were succeeded by Machir Bay in 2012 and are no longer produced, making Spring 2011 a rare glimpse of Kilchoman's early history.

  Did you know?

  Spring 2011 is one of the last releases from the period when Kilchoman named its bottlings after the season rather than a standing series — a practice that ended when Machir Bay launched as the distillery's permanent standard release in 2012.
