This expression is our first ever Madeira Cask Matured release! We have selected just 17 first fill ex-Madeira barrels that were filled in 2011 and bottled these at 50%abv.
The Madeira Cask Matured follows the release of the Port Cask Matured in 2014 and is an example of our belief in full maturation in cask types typically only employed by distilleries for finishing.
Anthony Wills, Kilchoman Founder “This release is a break from the norm for us, it represents a bit of an experiment with full maturation rather than simply finishing whisky in casks like Madeira. Full maturation means that the impact of the cask is that much greater, the challenge is to ensure the whisky remains balanced and the influence of the Madeira cask is integrated with that of the Kilchoman spirit.”
The Madeira Cask Matured limited edition was distilled in May 2015 and matured for 5 years and 3 months in 46 fresh Madeira hogsheads, before being bottled at 50% abv in August 2021.
