Distillery Info
Kilchoman distillery was established on a farm in the rugged west coast of Islay in 2005, the first distillery to be built on the island for 125 years. Kilchoman (pronounced Kil-ho-man) is one of the smallest distilleries in Scotland.
It displays all that is great about the grass-roots traditions of Scotch whisky distilling. As well as being one of only a handful of distilleries still practicing floor malting, barley is also grown on the farm, making Kilchoman the only distillery to complete all parts of the whisky making process on site. From barley to bottling Kilchoman truly is Islay’s farm distillery.
This single malt scotch whisky is named after the most spectacular beach on Islay, Machir Bay and is the flagship of the Kilchoman range. Machir Bay is a unique and complex combination of ex-bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry butts.
First launched in 2012 when it won the prestigious IWSC 2012 Gold Award and more recenty in 2016 it was awarded best Islay Single Malt at the IWC.
