Kilchoman Distillery was established in 2005 and is true to Islay's rich farm distilling heritage. The distillery uses local peat cut in the traditional way, slowly distilling all spirits by hand, allowing maturation to occure in traditional dunnage warehouses, and bottling on site without any colouring or chill-filtration. Named after a famously dark and peaty loch overlooked by the distillery, Loch Gorm is a sherry cask single malt matured exclusively in oloroso casks, extracting the rich spicy character of the European oak as it ages in Kilchoman's Islay warehouses. All Kilchomans casks come from the renowned bodega, Jose Miguel Martin. It is common for distilleries to use a variety of sherry producers but for consistent quality and character, Kilchoman purchase them all from just one bodega. The 2023 edition of Loch Gorm features whisky from a parcel a total of 22 casks, matured for a minimum of 8 years. 8 of these casks were distilled in 2013, 6 distilled in 2014, and 8 distilled in 2015. A combination of sherry butts and hogsheads are used to provide 2 different styles of maturation. These ex-oloroso sherry casks impart a combination of heavy sherry notes, spicy dark chocolate, rich fruits and burnt sugar. This balances beautifully with the Kilchoman peat smoke and citrus fruits found within our farm crafted spirit. The nose has hints of cacao with an essence of leather, black cherry and light smoke. On the palate flavours of roasted hazelnuts, dark chocolate and roasted dark fruits give way to light ashy peat smoke with a long balanced finish with a fresh Islay sea breeze.

Inspired by the crescent beach of Sandend Bay, Glenglassaugh Sandend is matured in bourbon, sherry, and manzanilla casks for luscious waves of flavor.

The Macallan distillery, located in the Scottish Highlands, has a rich history dating back to 1824. Farmers in the area had been making whisky on their Speyside farms for centuries, using their surplus barley during the quieter winter months. The distillery was founded by Alexander Reid, a barley farmer and school teacher. The original name of the area was “Maghellan”, taken from the Gaelic word “magh”, meaning fertile ground and “Ellan”, from the Monk St.Fillan - who held a close association with the church that stood in the grounds of The Macallan Estate until 1400. Today, the Macallan distillery is renowned for its commitment to craftsmanship and quality. The traditional stone buildings, adorned with copper pot stills and wooden fermentation vessels, exude an air of timeless elegance.

The rich, natural colour and complex flavors of dried fruits, spices and oak are a testament to the mastery of Macallan's cask selection process.
