Kilchoman, Islay’s farm distillery, has launched miniatures of its ‘New Spirit’ which can be bought at the distillery shop or on line at www.kilchomandistillery.com.Jim Swan, production consultant to Kilchoman comments: “This is the best new spirit I have ever tasted. It has a strong but not overpowering peaty aroma with an intense fruity complexity.” There are plans to fill 70,000 litres of alcohol in 2007 and hopefully launch a product onto the market in 2010.
