The Kilchoman SAUTERNES CASK MATURED Islay Single Malt Limited Edition 2024 is a rare and technically sophisticated special bottling from the independent farm distillery Kilchoman Distillery. For this edition, the whisky matured exclusively in former Sauternes wine casks for its entire maturation period, which is considered particularly challenging even within experimental cask maturations. Anthony Wills specifically chose a combination of fresh and re-filled Sauternes barriques from two distillation years, with the youngest cask dating from 2018. The final vatting consists of 22% first-fill and 78% refill casks, representing a deliberate ratio of approximately 1:3.


This cask strategy builds on the distillery's previous experiences. The first Sauternes bottling from 2016 matured entirely in fresh casks, while the second 2018 edition was only finished for a short period. For 2024, the decision was made for full maturation in a balanced cask matrix, with a large proportion of the refill casks having previously been used for the 2018 finish. Bottled at 50% Vol., non-chill filtered and without added coloring, this Limited Edition preserves structure, depth, and cask character in an unadulterated form. The whisky is delivered in a high-quality gift box.
