Kilchoman is more than a distillery, it’s the Wills family’s labour of love, and their passion resonates in every drop. Established in 2005 by Anthony and Kathy Wills, Kilchoman revitalised the traditional farm distilling ethos on Islay, an island famed for its smoky single malts. Today, their sons James, George, and Peter carry forward the family’s commitment to excellence, overseeing sales and marketing while Anthony acts as Master Distiller and Kathy runs the welcoming Visitor Centre.
Central to Kilchoman’s identity is their “100% Islay” philosophy, a hallmark of integrity and craftsmanship. The distillery controls every step of the process, from barley sown in their fertile Islay fields to the final bottling. This commitment to local production ensures their single malts are deeply rooted in Islay’s landscape and traditions, offering whisky lovers an unparalleled experience of authenticity and quality.
