Kilchoman Original Cask Strength (2nd Edition) – 5cl Dram

A powerful cask strength release from Kilchoman Distillery, matured for over six years in quarter casks and bottled at a natural strength of 56.9% ABV.

This second edition showcases Kilchoman’s distinctive fruity, peat-smoked spirit amplified by intense wood interaction — now available in a full 5cl dram.

Why you’ll love it

Quarter casks are significantly smaller than traditional butts, meaning more contact between whisky and wood. The result? A richer, deeper influence from the cask — think caramelised sweetness, vanilla richness and bold oak spice layered over Kilchoman’s vibrant Islay peat.

Bottled at natural cask strength, this is an unfiltered, full-flavour experience. Add a drop of water to explore the layers, or enjoy it neat if you like your Islay whisky unapologetically powerful.

With only 95 quarter casks vatted to create just over 12,000 bottles worldwide, this was a genuinely limited release.

A 5cl dram gives you a proper measure to experience its intensity without committing to a full bottle.
