Kilchoman Summer release

Kilchoman's 4th distillery offering will be hitting the shelves on Monday (9th August). Kilchoman is one of the smallest distilleries in Scotland with an annual production of 100,000 litres of alcohol. Kilchoman is one of only six distilleries to carry out traditional floor maltings, but the key difference at Kilchoman is that the barley is grown on the farm at the distillery, whereas other distilleries purchase barley from around the country.

I'm looking forward to see what, if anything, has changed from the Spring release. In the mean time, here are the notes from the website.
