Kilchoman Distillery sits nestled amongst the traditional buildings of Rockside Farm on the north-west coast of Islay. Famous as Islay’s Farm Distillery, the distillery’s barley fields stretch west to the shores of Machir Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Kilchoman is unique in many ways, most notably for Scotland’s only Single Farm Single Malt. Genesis tells the story of the creation of Kilchoman-Whisky – our 1130 day journey from barley to bottle with the desire to resurrect the grass roots tradition of farm distilling. Each stage of the whisky-making process has a profound influence on the character of our whisky. Harvest time represents the start of this process. Days 1-5: The harvest begins – The parish of Kilchoman is home to some of Islay’s most fertile ground. It is here, in the fields surrounding the distillery, where Kilchoman grows 200 tons of barley each year. Planting in Spring once Islay’s 50,000 geese have migrated, the farm team cares for the barley over the summer months before harvesting in early September. This release is a combination of our Kilchoman grown Publican barley variety and Concerto barley variety grown on mainland.
