Join us as we welcome Anthony Wills, founder and managing director of the Kilchoman Distillery Co Ltd,  the first distillery to be established on Islay in over 124 years.  He ran his own independent single cask bottling company for 8 years when he came up with the idea of building a farm distillery. The distillery was built in 2005, with the first run of new spirit coming off the stills later that year. Kilchoman is one of the smallest distilleries in Scotland with an annual production of approximately 100,000 litres of alcohol. We at the Merch have been big fans of their malts, so much so that we have purchased casks in previous years and they bottled it for us at cask strength. Our old friend, Ed Kohl from Impex Beverages and importer of Kilchoman, will also be here to pour expressions from the Arran Distillery, located on the Isle of Arran.
