Kilchoman may be among the youngest distilleries on Islay, but it carries itself with the gravitas of an elder statesman. Established in 2005 on Rockside Farm, near the windswept expanse of Machir Bay, it was the first new distillery to be built on the island in over a century. Despite its modern origins, Kilchoman is a proud revivalist, embracing traditional farm distilling in a way that feels both fresh and ancient.
