From the only new distillery founded on Islay in 124 years comes this blend 3, 4 and 5 year single malt. Vibrant aromas of peat, brine soaked smoky bacon fat and creamy grain notes awaken the senses. Pungent citrus elements come intermittently. Bright and peppery on the palate with flavors ranging from some bitter chocolate to salted caramel wrapped in a coating of fresh smoke.

Staff Pick Notes

After 124 years, there’s a new kid in town. Renowned for their craftsmanship and no-frills authenticity, Kilchoman is reviving the lost art of Islay’s foundation, where the distillery is responsible for every step of the whisky making process. Nothing outsourced, with traditional floor maltings to ensure full flavor every time. As the first distillery to be constructed on Islay in over a century, skeptics would sneer and proclaim they have some catching up to do. I beg to differ, as their 100% Islay philosophy stands out from the crowd, so does the liquid in the bottle. Non-chill filtered as well as non-colored, this is as authentic a whiskey as they come. A salty sea breeze whips your hair as you sit by the campfire with your love, toes in the sand as you watch distant ships flicker on the dark horizon.
