About this SPIRIT
Kilchoman Distillery, Islay
Founded in 2005, Kilchoman is Islay’s first new distillery in over 125 years and claims to be the only Scotch whisky producer to carry out every element of the whisky making process on site, from barley growing through to malting and bottling.
Kilchoman is one of the smallest distilleries in Scotland with an annual production of 90,000 litres of alcohol. It is the only inland distillery on the Island and is one of only six distilleries in Scotland to have its own floor maltings.
However the key difference at Kilchoman is that the barley is grown on the farm at the distillery, whereas other distilleries purchase barley from around the country.

Description
The Original Cask Strength is a special edition Kilchoman bottled at natural cask strength, presenting the whisky in its purest form with un-paralleled intensity of flavour and texture. Anthony Wills, managing director of Kilchoman, said: “it has always been my intention to release a cask strength expression once we had the stock available. This is the way single malt should be drunk. It allows everyone to experience Kilchoman with all the characteristics captured in the glass”. The first release in October 2014 was chosen from a selection of ex-bourbon casks filled in 2009.
