Just one bottle from the first cask will be bottled and sold via an online auction with all the proceeds from the sale being donated to charity. The one-off bottle will be hand bottled by Kilchoman Founder, Anthony Wills directly from Cask No.1, filled on the 14th of December 2005.

| Kilchoman 10 Year Old - Cask No.1 |
Limited stocks mean that Kilchoman will not release more ten year old whisky for some years however the recent illness of Distillery Manager, John MacLellan and a desire to celebrate the milestone sparked distillery Founder Anthony Wills into planning the unique bottling.
Commenting on the news, Anthony Wills, Kilchoman Founder and Managing Director, said: “While our neighbouring distilleries have been celebrating far longer periods in the industry we wanted to acknowledge 10 years of Kilchoman and also raise some money for a very worthy cause which has become close to the whole Kilchoman team”.
Established in 2005, Kilchoman was the first distillery to be built on the famous whisky-making Island of Islay in over 124 years. Kilchoman is the only distillery in Scotland to produce whisky from barley grown and malted on-site.
