Kilchoman
(kil-HO-man)
Was in 2005 the first new distillery to be built on the remote island of Islay for well over a century. The driving force behind the distillery is Anthony Wills. He dreamt of building the smallest and most traditional distillery in Scotland, or at least on Islay. One of only a handful of distilleries that may be able to claim that almost every step of the production process is carried out on site.The peating specifications for the barley malted at Kilchoman is somewhere between 20 and 25 PPM, however Part of Kilchoman's malted barley is obtained from the Port Ellen malting, the peating level of this barley is around 50 PPM.
In just over a decade this small farm distillery (130,000 litres per year) have released a range of natural colour & non chill filtered single malts with the Machir Bay being the core release along with the Sherry cask Loch Gorm and 100% Islay Barley releases but many more releases to seek out from this great new edition to the Islay region.
