It is bottled at a robust 50% ABV without chill-filtration or added colors, ensuring a pure and unadulterated experience. With only 12,000 bottles produced, this edition is a rare and sought-after gem for whisky enthusiasts.

The 8th Edition is lightly peated compared to other Kilchoman releases such as Machir Bay and Loch Gorm, offering a more delicate balance of peat and fruitiness.
