100% Islay 9 Years Old – 15th Edition
September 1, 2025As we complete our 2025 barley harvest, we’re delighted to release the 15th Edition of our 100% Islay range. This year’s 9 year old release is a vatting of 54 ex-bourbon barrels distilled from our 2014 and 2015 Concerto and Publican barley harvests.
Now available from our online shop.
Islay-grown barley and a slightly lower peating level create a more viscous palate, with elevated citrus and malty notes compared to Machir Bay and Sanaig. Bottled at 50% abv, it also carries a little more intensity.
From barley field to bottle, the 100% Islay range tells the story of our land and our people. Islay’s only single farm, single malt. Born from barley sown in our own fields, malted and distilled by hand. Matured in our warehouses and bottled at the distillery, it never leaves Islay until it’s ready to be shared.
“Fresh vanilla gives way to tropical fruit, toasted oak, and salted butter, with layers of candied citrus fruits, ripe pear, white pepper and waves of peat smoke,” Anthony Wills, Kilchoman Founder.
The 100% Islay 15th Edition will be available in the UK and across Europe from this week. For those of you further from Islay, it’s on the way, please contact your local stockist to make sure they have a bottle for you.
