Kilchoman Whisky History
The origins of Kilchoman
The story of Kilchoman begins in 2005, when Anthony Wills founded the distillery on the Scottish island of Islay. Kilchoman was the first new distillery to open on Islay in over 124 years. From the outset, Kilchoman focused on traditional methods and the production of whisky from locally grown barley to produce an authentic Islay single malt.

Every step in the production process, from sowing the barley to bottling the whisky, is carried out on its own farm.
