Kilchoman Distillery

The only independent farm distillery on Islay

Kilchoman Distillery, founded in 2005 on the Isle of Islay, is one of Scotland's few farm distilleries. It controls the entire whisky-making process, from growing its own barley to bottling. Known for its artisanal approach, Kilchoman produces distinctive, peaty single malts that capture Islay's essence. Despite its small-scale production, Kilchoman has gained acclaim for whiskies like Machir Bay and Sanaig, recognized for their balance of smoke, sweetness, and complexity.
