First distillery built on Islay, 125 years ago, Kilchoman has been built as a “farm-distillery” and grows its own barley.


About 100 tons are harvested and malted at the distillery, 30% of the distillery’s needs. The rest is supplied by the Port Ellen malt-house. It is also part of the 6 last distilleries operating with traditional malting processes. In 2009, Kilchoman crafted its first recognized Single Malt. Kilchoman is one of the smallest distilleries of Scotland with an annual production of about 100.000 liters.

Nose: intense and suave, typical of Kilchoman, with notes of hay and peat smoke offset by aromas of honey and orange zest.

Palate: very chocolatey (bitter cocoa and dark chocolate) but also fruity (apricot, white grapes) and floral following the ageing in Sauternes barrels.

Finish: long, marked by liquorice and chocolate.
