Kilchoman’s 5^th Edition 100% Islay is a vatting of ex-bourbon barrels filled in 2009 and 2010.

First released in 2010, the 100% Islay range is only lightly peated, compared to Kilchoman’s Machir Bay and Loch Gorm.

The annually released, limited edition bottling, is produced solely from barley grown at the distillery. Kilchoman remains the only Scotch whisky distillery to produce single malt using these traditional Farm Distillery methods.

Anthony Wills, Kilchoman Founder and Managing Director, says: “There is a clear difference between the 100% Islay range and other releases, the lighter peating level and maturation exclusively in ex-bourbon barrels gives the whisky a beautiful fragrance and balance. When we first set out to build Kilchoman the ambition was to produce a single malt from barley grown on the distillery farm to give complete control and traceability, we also wanted to echo how whisky was once made on Islay and across Scotland.  We are incredibly proud to continue these traditional practices”.

Founded in 2005, Kilchoman is one of the smallest distilleries in Scotland and was the first distillery to be built on Islay for 125 years. Kilchoman is the only independent Islay distillery.

Kilchoman 100% Islay 5^th Edition is bottled at 50% ABV and is now available from ImpEx Beverages at a recommended retail price of $100/bottle.
