Kilchoman Batch Strength Islay Single Malt [700ML]

Description

Looking for an Islay whisky that delivers the full intensity of Scotland’s most legendary whisky island?

**Kilchoman Batch Strength** represents everything exceptional about modern Islay whisky-making. This cask strength expression from Scotland’s youngest distillery showcases the perfect marriage of traditional farm distillery methods and innovative maturation techniques. Unlike mass-produced whiskies, Kilchoman grows its own barley and malts it on-site, creating a truly authentic single farm expression. For comparison with other Islay powerhouses, explore our Big Peat Islay blend or the classic Ardbeg 10 Year Old.
