Kilchoman STR Cask Matured

Kilchoman STR Cask Matured is a single malt release created by the late Dr. Jim Swan. The whisky fully matured in red wine hogsheads, but the STR formula was applied to the barrels: Shaving, Toasting, and Re-charring of those hogsheads. A total of 43 casks were filled in 2012 and the whisky was bottled without chill-filtration at 50% ABV.
