KILCHOMAN was founded by Anthony Wills in June 2005. For more than 124 years a new distillery had not been born on the island of Islay on the west coast of Scotland. Supplied by the Port Ellen malting plant, it now makes a point of bringing about 20% of the barley grown on its own land. Certainly one of the smallest distilleries of the island, but already with a prestigious maturity.
As usual, the "farm distillery" of Islay offers us a version of its single malt not filtered cold and bottled in small cuvée. Iconic version of Kilchoman, Machir Bay, before being a whisky, is the name of a picturesque beach just steps from the distillery on the island of Islay. This single malt is a blend of whiskies having aged 80% in ex-bourbon barrels of first fill and 20% in Oloros sherry barrels
