The distillery was opened by Anthony Wills in 2005. It was the first new-opening of a distillery on Islay after a pause of 125 years. It is located in the northwestern part of the island on a former farmer area and is the only distillery on Islay that isn’t located next to the sea. It also is the only distillery on Islay which may call itself ‘100% Islay’, using all the ingredients and doing every producing step on the island. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Following on from the success of the first edition of the Kilchoman Fino Sherry Matured in 2020, the journey continued this year. For the 2023 Kilchoman Fino Sherry Cask Matured, a total of 20 Fino Sherry Butts were handpicked by Bodega Jose y Miguel Martin. With a combination of 20 sherry butts and a maturation period of at least five years, the malt develops a dry saltiness, with an influence of green, fresh fruits and the typical long-lasting, delicate Islay peat smoke. Maturation in ex-fino sherry casks gives the malt minerality, notes of oak and maple syrup, which combine beautifully with Kilchoman’s natural citrus sweetness and maritime peat smoke.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":148015,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[2258,2508,2436,10242,2204,2276,2170],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-148019","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-distilleries-en","product_cat-islay-en","product_cat-kilchoman-en","product_cat-regions","product_cat-scotland-en","product_cat-single-malt-en","product_cat-whisky-en","pa_bottling_date-2023-en","pa_cask_type-fino-sherry-en","pa_country-schottland-en-2","pa_destillation_age-keine-angabe-en-2","pa_destillation_date-keine-angabe-en-2","pa_region-islay-en","pa_whisky_bottler-destillen-original-abfuellung-en","pa_whisky_bottler_series-keine-angabe-en-2","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"yoast_head":"\n
