About Kilchoman

Kilchoman is a whisky distillery. SMWS 129.3 Kilchoman 2008 4 Year Old is an age-stated bottling at 4 years old, distilled in 2008.

What drives this bottle's value

  • Single vintage

    Distilled in a single year (2008), so the available batch is inherently finite.

  • Single cask

    A single-cask bottling (cask 129x3) comes from one strictly limited outturn rather than a large batch.

  • Independent bottling

    An independent bottling by smws, typically produced in far smaller numbers than an official distillery release.

These are scarcity and demand signals drawn from the bottle's own attributes — they describe the bottle, not a prediction of future price. Not investment advice.
