WHY: If you've never tasted single malt whisky from Islay's small farm distillery Kilchoman, then you're truly missing out. While younger than some of its counterparts, the whisky from Kilchoman is often more concentrated and intensely flavored at a younger age due to the hands-on distillation process. The Machir Bay in particular is a vatting of Sherry and Bourbon cask matured whiskies that brings butterscotch, salt, smoke, and rich vanilla in wave after wave of deliciousness.

HOW: Kilchoman makes up for its lack of maturity by taking smaller heart cuts during distillation, which means they only mature and bottle a very concentrated portion of the whisky that comes off the still. Doing so means the whisky costs more to produce, but the proof is in the pudding in terms of justification. The whisky simply tastes amazing.

WHAT: Kilchoman was founded in 2005 by Anthony Willis and is one of only two independently-owned distilleries on Islay. As a true farm distillery, Kilchoman grows, malts, and mills a portion of its own barley, releasing a number of whiskies each year that are 100% Islay from grain to glass. Known for an intensely peaty profile, Kilchoman's whiskies are as elegant as they are potent, giving it grace that few single malts possess in today's corporate landscape.
