A landmark Islay whisky marking eighteen years of craft. The Kilchoman 20th Anniversary 18 Year Old Bourbon Cask stands as the distillery’s oldest release to date, a tribute to two decades of farm-to-bottle distilling on Islay. Drawn from five first-fill bourbon barrels filled in 2006, it reveals the refined depth that only time and patience can bring. Bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered and natural in colour, this limited edition captures the quiet confidence of Kilchoman’s maturation style.
Long bourbon cask ageing has sculpted a whisky rich in vanilla, butterscotch and toasted oak, layered with Kilchoman’s distinctive thread of coastal smoke. The peat is gentle and integrated, allowing the sweetness of caramel, baked apple and honeycomb to take centre stage. It’s an elegant reflection of the distillery’s evolution — a spirit matured not only in cask, but in philosophy.
As part of the 20th Anniversary Cask Series, this 18 Year Old showcases the lighter, more polished side of Kilchoman’s character. It celebrates the harmony between Islay’s maritime influence and the soft, creamy sweetness of long bourbon maturation — a fitting milestone for one of Scotland’s most admired independent distilleries.
