A full Madeira cask maturation is quite rare and brings a rich fruity character balanced with the citrus and floral creaminess of the Kilchoman distillate. Distilled in May 2016, matured for over 5+ years in 46 fresh Madeira hogsheads, before being bottled at 50% ABV in August 2021. While originally planned for release in late 2021, a bottle shortage resulted in a delayed release/shipment to Hong Kong.( Officially released in March 2022 in the UK)
