KILCHOMAN Loch Gorm – 2022 Edition

KILCHOMAN Loch Gorm – 2022 Edition

Opened in 2005, Kilchoman was the first new distillery to be built on Islay for 124 years. Its proprietors are the Wills family, and the distillery saw a return of the practice of “farm distilling” to the island, with its own barely fields, malt floors and kilns. Today around 25% of its barley requirement is self-fulfilled, and in 2011 they bottled their first 100% Islay release of single farm, single malt. The distillery’s first release came in 2009, and it has cemented a fine reputation ever since

Introduced to wide acclaim in 2013, Loch Gorm is an annual sherry cask expression.

The 2022 release is a vatting of whisky distilled between 2007 and 2013 which was matured in 20 fresh and 2 refill ex-Oloroso butts. The edition resulted in 17,250 bottles.
