On October 10th, James Wills of Islay’s Kilchoman Distillery launched the “Meet the Peat” 2019 Tour which included stops in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Chicago, Illinois, and Indianapolis, Indiana. In the words of whoever runs the Kilchoman website, Mr. Wills brought a “plethora of the latest limited editions, […]
On today’s episode of A Tasting at The Murder Table, we were given the opportunity to try a very special and truly limited release from Islay’s Kilchoman Distillery. It goes by the rather long name of Kilchoman 100% Islay ImpEx Cask Evolution 02/2019 (Cask #622/2011). We scoured the […]
Until recently, Kilchoman was the newest distillery on Islay, and one that we’ve been following closely ever since our first sip of their Machir Bay expression during our second appearance on Mark Gillespie’s WhiskyCast Virtual Tasting, way back in June of 2012. Over the years, we’ve been fortunate […]
What you see up above are photos of Islay’s very own Kilchoman Distillery that were taken by the West Coast Office (WCO) during his Single Cask Nation tour of Scotland in 2015. As I’m sure I’ve mentioned in previous posts, Scotland (Islay in particular) is a Top 5 […]
This isn’t our first trip down the Kilchoman Loch Gorm road. Back in September of 2016, we published a review of this whisky along with a dessert idea that was inspired by a West Coast Office Tweet which paired Islay whisky with vanilla ice cream and freshly cracked […]

As has already been reported by Limpd, this year’s summer vacation with Mrs. G-LO and The Boys involved yet another road trip to the great state of Maine. This time around, instead of a ramshackle bungalow by the Penobscot Bay, we decided to step it up a bit […]
I am not a reviewer. I am not a whisky savant. I am not an animal. I am a lover of whisky, and I love the smell that fills the glass and rises above. I love the aroma from oak and vanilla and lemon and dead pine needles. […]
If you’ve read Limpd’s retelling of our Ardbeg 10 vs. Ardbeg Corryvreckan taste off, then you have some idea about how he felt about peat way back in 2010. That was almost exactly 4 years ago, and I am happy to report that Limpd has finally come around […]
For those of you that are unfamiliar with the Kilchoman Distillery, here are a few brief facts: The Kilchoman Distillery was built in 2005, making it the first new distillery on Islay in over 124 years. They are one of the smallest Scottish distilleries and their annual output […]
