Kilchoman Distillery

Kilchoman Distillery is located on the west coast of the island of Islay, near the small village of Kilchoman. Founded in 2005 by Anthony Wills, it is the first new distillery on Islay in more than 120 years. Kilchoman has quickly made a name for itself through its traditional approach to whisky production.

A unique feature of Kilchoman is that it is one of the few distilleries in Scotland to use a full "grain-to-glass" process. This means Kilchoman grows, malts, distils and matures its own barley on the grounds of Rockside Farm, where the distillery is located. This approach ensures exceptional control over the quality and character of their whisky.

Kilchoman whiskies are known for their robust and smoky profile, with pronounced notes of peat, fruit and spice. The distillery mainly uses ex-bourbon casks and sherry casks for maturation, which contributes to the complexity and depth of flavours.

The combination of traditional methods, an innovative approach and a strong focus on quality makes Kilchoman a notable and respected name in the world of Scotch whisky.
