0ne of the most interesting distillery tours we've even been on. It is very fascinating seeing a distillery that does everything by hand (making the whisky, bottling, packing, etc) all on site. It was so nice to see everything done from grain and glass and to be independently owned. Kilchoman also has the smallest, dinkiest wash & spirit stills that I have ever seen, which adds to the distilleries charm. Our tour guide was amazing (I think it was Sharon, but not 100% sure). We're really glad we visited the distillery on our short trip to Islay.

Being a whisky enthusiast, distillery worker, brewing and distilling student, I was very keen to come to islay but especially Kilchoman. Very well organised farm distillery. Super clean and easy production flow to follow. We were on tour with 4 other gentlemen who were very good company. We could all agreed that our tour guide Kirsteen was AMAZING. Really knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating of ALL of my many questions. The few she could not answer were handed over to Lyle who was happy to give a lot of extra technical knowledge.

This was our favourite distillery, one of two we visited twice. Beautiful location, excellent cafe, and all the staff were very friendly. Happy to let us taste several different ones, and I selected Sanaig to buy. Closely followed by Ardbeg (lovely cafe) Bruichladdich (brilliant salesgirl who managed to sell me two bottles) and Laphroaig (good bottle pricing and nice visitor centre). One or two of the other distilleries were more of a scrum where I felt a bit of a scrounger asking for a taste and their prices were seriously uncompetitive; I don’t mind paying a bit more for the distillery experience but there are limits.

We visited all 9 Islay distilleries in three days - all very good but Kilchoman was the standout. Amazing story of a family living their dream of creating a “seed to glass” distillery, outstanding tour with a very knowledgeable guide (Emma) who knows all there is to know about the science and the art of whisky making, and excellent tasting session out superb whisky and a lovely cafe and shop. Could not have been better. Big thanks to the whole team and especially Emma.

Kiera was most entertaining and her great sense of humour made the tour most enjoyable. Didn’t get to see their resident cats Smoky or Peaty but this is a very special distillery literally from Barley to Bottle. The decor and furnishings are tastefully made from upcycled barrels.

My wife and I had went on the Limited Edition Tasting and Tour (highly recommended). It was an incredible tour and Kirsteen, our guide, was fantastic and made the tour an unforgettable experience. Best tour and best distillery on Islay...by far.

Took the limited edition tasting tour and was blown away by the whole operation. The only distillery on Islay completely producing everything from the island and then cashing and bottling there also. Our tour guide Breagh was amazing and answered all and any questions we had the fave is a great sample of some limited edition whiskies.

Arrived at this fantastic independent distillery to a warm welcome from all the staff. We took to the bar where Ellie advised and helped us choose our Whiskies, according to our tastes, We ate a selection of food from the cafe menu, all were delicious! Our tour Host, the lively Ellie again gathered us together and we had a fantastic experience! Despite having only been in the job a couple of months, Ellie was eloquent, fun and friendly in telling us all about the Whisky she obviously has a passion for! The distillery has an amazing young lady on their hands, keep up the great work and we'll see you next year 🤞

We came across Kilchoman on our way to the beach, and what a find! The staff in all areas were friendly and efficient, it was a lovely atmosphere, and lunch was great (though would recommend as it gets busy!). We didn’t have time to take a tour, but did purchase some drivers drams. We really liked the farm ethos, and would definitely do a tour if we return to Islay. Having visited other distilleries on the island this was definitely one of our favourites!

Fantastic visit. We started with lovely homemade soup, followed by coffee and a chai latte and cake in the cafe. Staff were really friendly and the service was good. Then around the visitor centre and shop. Some nice and unusual items for sale ( treated myself to a few items). Definitely be back for a tour and another visit to the cafe when possible. Loved the big leather arm chairs to sit and have coffee/ cake.
