Kilchoman Cognac Cask Matured 70cl 50°
For the very first time, a Kilchoman whisky has experienced maturation in ex-Cognac casks. These 32 barrels have been carefully selected from the renowned Bossuet cooperage in France for their exceptional quality.
After distillation in 2016 and then ageing for 6 years in these barrels, the whisky obtained is impregnated with the characteristic notes from the Cognac barrels, such as apricot, spices but also this slight smoke typical of Kilchoman whiskies.

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.
