This bottling of a Kilchoman single malt as an original bottling of the distillery was produced as a single cask release especially for the 13th Cöpenicker Whisky Autumn 2012. The whisky was distilled in 2006, matured in an ex-sherry hogshead and was bottled at cask strength in 2012.
Kilchoman was founded in 2005 and is the westernmost distillery in Islay and the only distillery on Islay that is not located directly by the sea. Its name comes from an old church whose ruins lie on picturesque Machir Bay. Kilchoman is one of the few distilleries that still malt parts of their malt themselves.
Islay is the most famous of the Scotch whisky islands. It is often referred to as the queen among them. The majority of Islay's single malts have a wonderfully peaty, smoky, strong flavour - flavours for which Islay whisky is so loved.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
