The Kilchoman Islay Single Malt Whisky Bourbon/Oloroso Sherry SMALL BATCH 2 is a strictly limited edition release from the independent farm distillery, Kilchoman Distillery, and is clearly aimed at connoisseurs of powerful, characterful Islay whiskies. This small-batch edition was deliberately produced in a limited run of just 1,200 bottles and combines 80 per cent Bourbon cask whisky with 20 per cent Oloroso sherry cask single malt. Bottled at 47.1% ABV, the whisky remains intense, structured and unadulterated, with no chill filtration and no colouring. The intense natural colour derives exclusively from cask maturation, and all the aroma-giving oils and esters are fully preserved.


Maturation in Bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks emphasises the typical smoky Kilchoman house style, which is particularly appreciated by peatheads. The cask blend has been selected to ensure a balanced interplay of smoke, sweetness, fruit and spice. The proportion of Bourbon casks provides structure and approachability, whilst the Oloroso casks contribute depth and complexity. As an Islay Single Malt Whisky Small Batch, this bottling sits between the core range and single cask releases, offering a distinctive profile with the distillery’s clear signature.
