Kilchoman Introduces Batch Strength to Core Range

Kilchoman: A Legacy of Family and Tradition

Founded in 2005 by Anthony and Kathy Wills, Kilchoman is a true family endeavor that has flourished over the years. Joined by their sons James, George, and Peter, the Wills family has nurtured Kilchoman into a distinguished name in the whisky world.

Crafting Excellence: Maturation and Flavor Profile

Kilchoman embarks on a new chapter in 2024 with the unveiling of BATCH STRENGTH, the latest entrant to their esteemed core range lineup.

Batch Strength undergoes maturation in a unique fusion of re-charred red wine casks, oloroso sherry butts, and bourbon barrels. Following this meticulous process, a touch of water is carefully added post-maturation, resulting in a formidable 57% ABV. The outcome? A whisky of monumental proportions, blending Kilchoman’s signature peat smoke and citrus notes with luscious dark fruits, opulent spices, and delectable salted caramel undertones.
