Kilchoman History and Distillery Information
Kilchoman distillery is the latest of the famous Islay distilleries and is a so called farm distillery. Kilchoman distillery is located on the west side of Islay, close to the Atlantic Ocean and Loch Gorm. The distillery, which began production in June 2005, was the first to be built on the island of Islay in 124 years. Kilchoman's whisky is completely produced on site – from barley fields to bottling – at Rockside Farm.
