Description

The first distillery built on the Isle of Islay for over century. Kilchoman celebrated its third birthday in September 2009, with its new spirit finally reaching the age required for it to be legally called a single malt. Built using the model of a “farmhouse-distillery”, Kilchoman makes a point of distilling its new spirit from barley grown on its own land. Some 100 tonnes are harvested and malted at the distillery, providing 30% of their needs. The rest comes form the maltings at Port Ellen. Its first barrel of new make spirit was filled in 2005.
