Kilchoman Distillery

Kilchoman Distillery, located on the scenic island of Islay in Scotland, is unique in the whisky world. Founded in 2005 by Anthony Wills, Kilchoman is Islay’s only farm distillery. They embrace a “from barley to bottle” approach, ensuring quality by performing every step on-site. This method includes growing their own barley, malting, distilling, maturing, and bottling.

Known for its robust, peated single malts, Kilchoman captures the true essence of Islay’s terroir. Their core range includes notable expressions like Machir Bay, with citrus and vanilla notes, and the richly sherried Loch Gorm. Using a mix of bourbon barrels and sherry casks from top producers, Kilchoman creates unique flavor profiles. Their dedication to traditional craftsmanship, combined with innovation, sets their whiskies apart.

For visitors, Kilchoman offers an immersive experience. Guided tours showcase the whisky-making process, from the malting floor to the stillhouse and maturation warehouses. This hands-on experience, along with tastings of their distinctive single malts, makes Kilchoman a must-visit destination for whisky enthusiasts exploring Islay.
