The Kilchoman BALLINABY Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a characterful expression from the Kilchoman Distillery and epitomises the distinctive house style of this young farm distillery on Islay. This bottling is named after the rocky Ballinaby Bay, situated on the north-west coast of the island and renowned for its rugged, maritime landscape. The Kilchoman Ballinaby has been matured predominantly in ex-bourbon casks, which places a clear emphasis on freshness, clarity and the natural expressiveness of the Kilchoman spirit. This Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is bottled at 46% ABV, without chill filtration or colouring, ensuring that its texture and aromas are fully preserved.


Stylistically, the Kilchoman BALLINABY presents itself as a powerful, accessible Islay malt, with maritime peat smoke, citrus freshness and a malty structure taking centre stage. Maturation in bourbon casks underscores the clean Linie of this bottling and highlights the balance between smoke, sweetness and freshness that is characteristic of Kilchoman. As with all the distillery’s bottlings, this whisky also reflects the artisanal approach that is consistently pursued from distillation right through to bottling. The Kilchoman Ballinaby is presented in a high-quality gift box, making it ideal both as an introduction to the world of Kilchoman and as a staple of any Islay collection.
