Kilchoman, Founder's Cask, Calvados Double Cask Finish, Islay, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (54.8%)

Description

Kilchoman Distillery, founded in 2005, is one of the newest distilleries on Islay. It is one of the few farm distillers in Scotland, growing its own barley and producing whisky on-site. The Founder’s Cask series, including this Calvados Double Cask Finish, highlights its innovative approach to whisky production. The use of Calvados casks for finishing imparts unique apple and pear notes to the traditional smoky whisky produced here.

About this spirit

Kilchoman Distillery, Islay

Founded in 2005, Kilchoman is Islay’s first new distillery in over 125 years and claims to be the only Scotch whisky producer to carry out every element of the whisky making process on site, from barley growing through to malting and bottling. Kilchoman is one of the smallest distilleries in Scotland with an annual production of 90,000 litres of alcohol. It is the only inland distillery on the Island and is one of only six distilleries in Scotland to have its own floor maltings. However the key difference at Kilchoman is that the barley is grown on the farm at the distillery, whereas other distilleries purchase barley from around the country.
