Kilchoman Machir Bay
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.
