Kilchoman Distillery, established in 2005, is one of the newest distilleries on Islay, Scotland. Founded by Anthony Wills, Kilchoman is unique in that it was the first new distillery to be built on Islay in over 124 years. The distillery is located on a farm, and it prides itself on being a farm distillery, growing its own barley and completing every step of the whisky-making process on-site, from malting to bottling.
Kilchoman is known for its commitment to traditional methods and its focus on quality over quantity. The distillery produces a range of single malt whiskies, including the popular Machir Bay and Sanaig expressions. Kilchoman's whiskies are typically characterized by their peaty, smoky flavors, which are a hallmark of Islay whiskies. The distillery also offers limited edition releases and cask strength bottlings, making it a favorite among whisky enthusiasts who appreciate craftsmanship and innovation.
