Kilchoman Distillery

Nestled on the wild west coast of the Isle of Islay, the Kilchoman Distillery isn’t your average whisky house. Founded in 2005 by the Wills family, it revived a farm-distilling tradition and firmly planted itself as the only distillery in Scotland that grows, malts, distills, matures and bottles whisky all on-site. 

From barley fields in the parish of Kilchoman to the still house, this is whisky made with full control and big character. Up to 440 tonnes of barley can be grown each year on the surrounding 400 acres of fertile land.The floor-malting process still happens here, a craft almost lost among larger operations. 

Why does that matter? Because Kilchoman Distillery's approach gives its whiskies a rare authenticity, you taste the land, the peat, the Islay air. Their core range delivers that distinct balance of maritime peat-smoke, crisp citrus sweetness and layers of cooked fruit and spice. 

Independent, family-run, and proudly authentic, Kilchoman stands apart in a world of big names. The distillery expanded in recent years to increase capacity, yet it retains its boutique spirit and commitment to place.

At My Spirits & Wines, we stock numerous Kilchoman Distillery’s expressions: from the entry-level releases to those rare limited editions matured in sherry or speciality casks.
