About this bottle
Fèis Ìle - The Islay Festival - is a gathering of whisky and Islay fans from across the globe. Kilchoman, Islay’s Farm Distillery and their 100% Islay range represents the revival of traditional farm distilling, standing alone as Islay’s only Single Farm, Single Malt, Scotch Whisky, produced Kilchoman from barley to bottle. Selecting the Fèis Ìle release is a highlight each year for Anthony Wills, Kilchoman Founder, and for this year, he’s selected something unique! This time around, he’s picked two fresh bourbon barrels, distilled in 2011. This single farm single malt was produced from barley grown and malted at Kilchoman in 2010, before being dried in the Kilchoman kiln. Significantly, this batch of malt was not dried with peat, making the Fèis Ìle 2024 one of the few unpeated releases from Kilchoman. Distilled on the 8th June 2011, bottled on the 23rd May 2024 at cask strength without chill filtering or added colour. Only available from the distillery during the festival. One of only 482 bottles.

Founded in 2005, Kilchoman is a family-owned distillery that has gone about producing its Islay whisky on its own terms. From its humble beginnings as a farm distillery, it still produces a 100% Islay whisky, which is as a result of grain grown on the island, distilled on-site and matured on Islay. Amongst its larger neighbours, most of whom are corporate-owned, Kilchoman has stuck by what it believes is best. Other releases are not yet 100% Islay but with recent enhancements, Kilchoman is more self-reliant. When Anthony Wills announced his intention to build a distillery, it was the first on Islay in over 100 years. There were initial difficulties including a fire in 2006, but soon the whiskies found an audience and the distillery was expanded. This has been further enhanced with a second identical distillery being built nearby to effectively double production. The Kilchoman range has continued to grow, not only in age statements but the number of options including a Fino sherry cask and a 12-year-old cask strength.
