The Kilchoman Distillery was established in 2005, Kilchoman (pronounced Kilhoman) is one of the smallest distilleries in Scotland. Based on a farm on the rugged west coast of Islay, Kilchoman is the first distillery to be built on the Island for 125 years. Kilchoman gives everyone the chance to see what is best about the grass-roots traditions of malt distilling. As well as being one of only a handful of distilleries still practicing floor malting, they also grow their own barley at the distillery, completing all parts of the production process at the distillery – from barley to bottling.

A Kilchoman fully matured in casks that previously held Madeira wine. Just forty six casks were selected for the 2021 release and all bottled at a generous 50% abv. You really do not want to miss this one. Big, bold, fruity and smokey.
