Description
Kilchoman Distillery, founded in 2005 on Islay, is celebrated for its farm-to-bottle approach. It is one of the few distilleries that completes the entire whisky-making process on-site, from growing barley to bottling. Kilchoman is known for its independent approach, producing small batches of high-quality Islay single malts. Loch Gorm is named after a nearby peat bog, and this edition is matured exclusively in Sherry casks.

Barley
Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
