Craig Mackinlay has designed five new releases for Islay-based Kilchoman Distillery. A relative ‘newcomer’ to the industry, opening in 2005, Kilchoman was the first distillery to be built on Islay soil for 124 years, intending to give a true grass roots experience of whisky from barley to bottling. With this in mind, Craig has worked hard over recent years to reflect these values in Kilchoman’s identity and the new releases are no exception. Machir Bay, 2nd Edition 100% Islay, 2006 Vintage, Sherry Cask Release and Single Casks. now give Kilchoman a real diversity and all reflect the brand’s signature look.
