Kilchoman was the first distillery to be built on Islay in over 124 years. The distillery was founded in 2005 by Anthony Wills and is Islay’s only farm distillery, producing Single Farm Single Malt. Kilchoman is one of the few whisky distilleries in Scotland to remain independent.
Their 100% Islay philosophy stems from a desire to resurrect the grass roots tradition of farm distilling. Since the establishment of Kilchoman, the 100% Islay range was the main reason for being. It represents the revival of single malt whisky being cultivated from barley to bottle in a single location. Kilchoman is a distillery where the responsibility for quality and consistency is not outsourced but completed on-site with skill, care and attention to detail.
