Description

Kilchoman, which came online in 2005, was the first distillery to be built on Islay for 124 years - and it has garnered a sterling reputation in its short lifespan. In particular, the use of a forward-thinking yet expensive wood policy has meant they have achieved a quality mature period at an early stage by using a high standard of cask. With everything being carried out on site, from floor malting to bottling. This '2006 Vintage' was the first official bottling of a 5-year-old Kilchoman whisky, marking a significant milestone for the distillery.
