Description

• Established in 2005, Kilchoman (pronounced Kil-ho-man) is one of the smallest distilleries in Scotland. Based on a farm on the rugged west coast of Islay, Kilchoman was the first distillery to be built on the island for 125 years. Kilchoman displays all that is great about the grass-roots traditions of Scotch whisky distilling. As well as being one of only a handful of distilleries still practicing floor malting, barley is also grown on the farm, making Kilchoman the only distillery to complete all parts of the whisky making process on site. Named after the most spectacular beach on Islay, Machir Bay is the flagship of the Kilchoman range. A unique and complex combination of ex-bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry butts. The peaty and salty aroma subsides into an incredibly delicate whisky with notes of, caramel, vanilla and butterscotch. The finish is long with baking spices and hints of pepper.
