Kilchoman Asia Tour 2024: the New Batch Strength launch in Bangkok

Whisky lovers, get ready for an exciting surprise coming to Bangkok this October 2024. Renowned Islay distillery Kilchoman is embarking on its highly anticipated Kilchoman Asia Tour 2024, and they are bringing their latest release, Kilchoman Batch Strength, to nine countries across Asia. The closed number event will give whisky fans the chance to discover this powerful addition to the Kilchoman core range in person.

The tour kicks off in Japan on September 16th, with Kilchoman traveling to Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, China, and South Korea over a six-week period, reaching our beloved Bangkok on October 3rd and 4th.

A New Core Range Addition: Kilchoman Batch Strength

The Kilchoman Batch Strength whisky is the latest addition to the distillery's core range, which includes the fan favorites Machir Bay and Sanaig. Known for its rugged, intense flavor profile, Batch Strength is bottled at 57% ABV, offering a bold and powerful experience that whisky enthusiasts will appreciate.

The whisky is matured in a combination of re-charred red wine casks, oloroso sherry butts, and bourbon barrels, giving it a complex character that blends Kilchoman’s signature peat smoke with rich notes of dark fruits, spices, salted caramel, and vibrant citrus sweetness. This new expression perfectly encapsulates the depth, intensity, and robust flavors Kilchoman is known for, and with its higher ABV, it certainly stands out in the lineup.

According to Kilchoman, the Batch Strength whisky embodies the rugged power and intensity of the distillery, typifying the fresh peat smoke and fruit-spice balance the brand is famous for. The influence of the re-charred red wine casks adds layers of red fruits and caramel, making it a must-try for anyone who appreciates a rich, bold whisky.

The Kilchoman Asia Tour: 9 Countries, 6 Weeks, and Special Edition Bottles

The Kilchoman Asia Tour 2024 will not stop only at the release of their new addition Batch Strength, but it will bring the essence of Kilchoman to whisky lovers across Asia. The team at Kilchoman will be hosting events in each of the nine countries, offering attendees the opportunity to meet the team, learn more about the distillery’s history and production processes, and enjoy exclusive tastings.
