Kilchoman 18 Year Ex-Bourbon Barrel Scotch Whisky – 20th Anniversary Cask SeriesSingle Malt Scotch Whisky | 46% ABV (92 Proof) | 700 mL
Process & Profile
As the oldest release in Kilchoman’s 20th Anniversary Cask Series, this 18-year-old single malt marks a milestone in the Islay distillery’s history. Distilled in 2006 and matured entirely in refill bourbon barrels, the whisky was bottled in 2025 to honor two decades of independent production. Selected by Kilchoman founder Anthony Wills, it reflects the delicate maturity that extended bourbon aging brings—balancing coastal smoke with smooth, vanilla-led elegance. Bottled at 46% ABV, it retains its natural color and is non-chill filtered.
