Kilchoman Distillery, established in 2005 by Anthony Wills, held the distinction of being Islay's first new distillery in 124 years and the industry's 'newcomer' until Ardnahoe joined the island's whisky community in late 2018. While Malt Mill (1908) operated within Lagavulin's premises, it was not an independent distillery as it shared Lagavulin's mash tuns. Kilchoman's success with its single malt whisky prompted a major expansion that doubled production capacity. The new still room, commissioned in April 2019, features two 1.2-ton stainless steel semi-lauter mash tuns, twelve 6,000-liter stainless steel washbacks with a 90-hour fermentation period, and two sets of stills. Production reached 220,000 liters in 2018, with projections of 300,000 liters for 2019. The distillery maintains traditional floor malting for 30% of its requirements, including 20 PPM peated malt, while sourcing the remaining 70% from Port Ellen Maltings, which includes malts peated to 50 PPM. The core range comprises Machir Bay and Sanaig (launched 2016, matured in bourbon and oloroso sherry casks). Loch Gorm is the limited edition expression that is uniquely fully sherry-matured, crafted from 100% Islay-grown barley that is malted on-site. Special releases include the STR Cask (distilled May 2019, using 50 PPM peated malt, bottled at 50% ABV, matured in re-charred and re-toasted red wine casks) and a 9-year-old 2009 Vintage. The 2019 Feis Ile special edition is a vatting of 2007 bourbon cask and 2008 oloroso sherry cask whiskies. The portfolio is completed by travel retail exclusives Coull Point (UK market) and Saligo Bay (global market).

Just had a dram that’s ultra‑clean and zesty, with a bright lemon zest and a hint of brine – feels like pale white wine meets sea spray. It’s young and not quite mature, barely three years old, yet the smoke is just smoke, clean as a Bauhaus whisky. The palate is kind of minimal, individuality shines through without the wounds, and there’s a lovely earthy undertone. Finishes with immaculate simplicity, a new motto in my head: better young than youngish. Aaaah yes! 😊

First sip hits me with ash and brine, then a zesty lemon pop, a whisper of smoke and that pale white wine note, all ultra‑clean and barely three years old. aaaah yes! feels like smoked oysters with lemon, pure simplicity 😊

Just poured a wee dram and wow—brine hits you first, like licking a windswept rock by the sea. There’s this razor-sharp mineral thing going on, almost like biting into a lemon wedge dipped in seawater. Young? Barely three years, but it’s got that clean-cut punch—no mucking about with vatting here, just smoke and a scream of ‘hey, I’m here!’ Ultra-clean, like it’s been carved out of a single cask with a chisel. The peat’s there, but not the heavy kind—there’s soot and ash, sure, but it’s more… gentian and earth, like walking through a damp forest after a fire. Loads of lemon juice zing, maybe even a splash of pale white wine acidity cutting through. Not quite mature, but that’s the charm, innit? It’s got individuality, this stripped-back purity that reminds me of those very first Port Charlottes—raw, unbloodtubed energy. Flawless for its age, no wounds from over-oaking or fake complexity. Just a young, fierce thing that grabs you by the throat and says ‘drink me fast.’ Aaaah yes—perfect for a Tuesday night when you want something bold but not bogged down. More fruits? Maybe a hint, but it’s mostly about that Islay eau-de-vie grit. Simple, but not boring. Proper dram.

Just tried this young peated spirit – earthy, briny, so simple and flawless. No wounds, just clean smoke. Aaaah yes! It's like smoked oysters drenched in lemon juice, zesty and full of individuality. Crushes the official, honestly. Barely 3 years, but so chiselled and ultra-clean – better young than youngish, I reckon. Reminds me of a pale white wine with depth, and it screams 'hey, I'm here!' Lovely first un-bloodtubed vibe, but vatting might just kill it. Very young malts are always better as single casks, innit? This one's got a Bauhaus whisky feel – minimal but bold. 😊

Wow, this one really shouts at you from the glass! 🍋 It's like a punch of zesty lemon and sea spray right upfront. So young, barely three years old, you can almost taste the cask's raw wood. It's got that kind of immaculate simplicity, a real Bauhaus whisky if there ever was one. Just clean smoke, maybe a bit of soot, balanced with that citrus and a hint of something earthy. Reminds me of smoked oysters drenched in lemon juice... aaaah yes! Feels like a true eau-de-vie d'Islay – chiselled, pure, without any of the complicated wounds older malts sometimes carry. It's perfect as a single cask, I think. Mixing it would just kill that stunning, plain mercurochrome honesty. Young yet flawless. Kind of minimal, but screams 'hey, I’m here!' 🤙
