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. This Islay whisky has been vatted from both bourbon and sherry casks. It has a beautiful balance between the toffee, nutty, vanilla notes of bourbon, and the juicy, sweet, dark chocolate raisins and fruitiness of Olorosso sherry. The finish delivers a warm smokiness, with notes of bacon fat, black pepper, and sea salt.
