I can't remember if this website has been mentioned before for the new distillery.

Kilchoman (pronounced kilhoman) is a farm scale distillery and the first to be built on Islay for 124 years. Kilchoman gives everyone the opportunity to see all that is best in the grass-roots traditions of whisky production - from barley field to bottling room. |

read about this a while ago, i am considering buying a cask, the aim i think is to get back to the traditional whisky that used to be made on islay (whatever that is) _________________ i've been on a whisky diet, i've lost 3 days already

Hopefully we might actually get to Kilchoman next festival , we had a look around while it was been built but havn't seen it since . We went up to see the owners (who weren't in ) as they had linked to my site (the only distillery to have the sense to so far ....... ) .
We were hoping to get up this trip at the end of Nov but the only free time we've got is the Saturday and they're closed at the week-end . The manager is a former Ardbeg Stillman , Malcolm Rennie , son of the former Laddie warehouseman John . There's another Ardbeg connection in Paula who used to work in the Old Kiln and is now visitor centre manageress .
We also considered investing in a cask but decided against it after a lot of thought (and the fact that i've got a C&E bill to pay for the bottling of my bloodtub ) .
I'll let you know when i finally get to tour the new place .
BTW if you come onto the chat on wednesday you sometimes get to chat to Raymond owner of Bladnoch (tho it's a while since he's dropped in ) . A more regular attendee is Francis who's just about to commission his Daftmill Farm Distillery in Fife (nothing to do with Ladybank , as he'll point out !) .

I don't know if anyone used a supermarket called Netto but they used to sell a really cheap blend that had on it distilled or blended at Ladybank Distillery but then changed it after a couple of years Never could find out the reason for the name appearing or disappearing. |

I take it this is still a distillery in the very early stages of production, have they even made whisky yet to lay down? |

Well according to their site calendars entry on 28th October 2005 they say that distilling will begin Monday November 5th
I can only assume that they are again talking about 2005 but as you say the 5th is not a Monday! Saturday would be a strange day to start distilling so my money is on Monday 7th
Anyone know any better? _________________ Robert Graham Ltd Est 1874
