Nota's van Kilchoman (Bron: hun website, 01/07/2025):
"The Port Cask Matured limited edition was aged for the full term of its maturation in ruby port hogsheads. Casks were selected from two contrasting ages, the youngest being 6 years old.
The 2024 edition will be the third release of a Kilchoman Port Cask Matured limited edition. The first release in 2014, was matured for three years in fresh port casks. The second edition, released in 2018, was a combination of three and four year old casks. This, the 2024 edition, was matured in refill casks used for both of the previous two releases.
Unlike most port cask releases from other distilleries, this is not a port cask finish, the whisky has only been matured in port hogsheads. Whilst being more challenging to get right, Anthony’s full term maturation approach is something he’s committed to continuing.

'When we started Kilchoman, we always wanted to do things slightly differently, some distilleries do release full maturation bottlings, but most tend to do finishes. Full term maturation is fun because you don’t always know how it’s going to work out. We’re fortunate that the Kilchoman spirit character lends itself to bind together with experimental casks very nicely.
Port casks and Kilchoman just works, the natural citrus and sweetness of Kilchoman balance nicely with the red berries and cinnamon influence of the port casks. This latest edition, being older and refill casks, has a little more depth of character compared to past releases, I’m very pleased with how it has come together,' - Anthony Wills, Kilchoman Founder."
