Knowledge Bar

A proportion of the barley is grown on the farm at the distillery. Originally optic barley variety was grown, however Kilchoman now use publican, which is a more resilient variety able to withstand the wet and windy Islay weather.Sown in early May (publican) and harvested in September.Moisture content off the field is 18 to 20%. Dried to 13 to 14% prior to storing. 100 tonnes of malting barley (variety - publican) is grown and malted at the distillery. This represents 30% of our annual production. The balance of malt is purchased from the Port Ellen Maltings on the island.Both malts are kept separate throughout the production process.
