Kilchoman Single Malt Whisky

As far as whisky distilleries go the Kilchoman distillery, located on the small Scottish island of Islay, is not only one of the newest distilleries, it is also the smallest distillery in Scotland. The small and humble distillery can be located on the rugged west coast of the iconic island and is the first distiller to be established on the island in 125 years. Kilchoman are dedicated to their grass root, traditional approach towards whisky making carrying forth forgotten methods and techniques such as growing their own barley on site to floor malting - a process that only a handful of distilleries still actively use.

Despite being such a young distillery, that only started bottling their first batch of whisky in 2008, Kilchoman have already proven that they are one to watch. In 2012 they released their Machir Bay 2012, Kilchoman’s core expression which later that year went on to win the prestigious IWSC 2012 Gold Medal – Best in Class. The distillery have since continued to gain recognition and well deserved praise for their whisky and have fast become a favourite among many highly respected whisky experts.
