Kilchoman distillery (pronounced Kil-ho-man)[1] is a distillery that produces single malt Scotch whisky on Islay, an island of the Inner Hebrides. Kilchoman Distillery is in the northwest of the island, close to Machir Bay. Kilchoman was founded by Anthony Wills and remains an independent, family run distillery.[2][3][4] It is the smallest on the island but since obtaining Rockside Farm in 2015, is in the process of expanding.[5][6][7]
