Kilchoman is one of the most distinctive distilleries on Islay and stands apart through a philosophy that few others can claim. Founded in 2005, Kilchoman was the first new distillery built on Islay in over 120 years, yet it is deeply rooted in tradition. What truly makes Kilchoman unique is that it is a fully working farm distillery, controlling every step of the whisky-making process from barley grown on its own fields to malting, distillation, maturation and bottling on site.
This rare “barley to bottle” approach allows Kilchoman to express a pure and unmistakable sense of place. The use of traditionally floor-malted barley, combined with slow distillation and maturation in carefully selected casks, results in a style that is unmistakably Islay: smoky, maritime and powerful, yet remarkably fresh and precise.
The Uniqueness of Kilchoman Single Cask Releases
Kilchoman’s Single Cask Releases represent the distillery at its most individual and uncompromising. Each bottling comes from a single, hand-selected cask, bottled at cask strength and released in extremely limited numbers. No two casks are ever the same, making every release a one-off expression of Kilchoman’s character.
These bottlings are presented without chill filtration or added colouring, allowing the whisky to speak for itself. The influence of the cask — whether ex-bourbon, sherry, wine or experimental wood — plays a defining role, highlighting different facets of Kilchoman’s signature peat smoke, citrus freshness and earthy complexity.
For collectors and connoisseurs, Kilchoman Single Cask Releases offer something increasingly rare in modern whisky: authenticity, individuality and true scarcity — a direct connection to the land, the cask and the moment of bottling.
