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. Kilchoman truly is Islay’s farm distillery - from barley to bottling.
Please note as this is a vintage whisky, conditions of bottle/label and liquid level can vary.
On the nose detect a strong but not overpowering peaty aroma with intense fruits flavours of pear drops and rich fruit flavours.
The fruity character gives way to a butterscotch aroma that is a unique feature of Kilchoman.
On the palate, the same fruity characteristics are present with a sweetness that is highly unusual in a young new spirit.
