Kilchoman 20 Year Old Family Collection

The Kilchoman 20 Year Old Family Collection (1st Edition) is a landmark release that captures a defining moment in the distillery’s history. As Kilchoman’s oldest general release to date, it reflects the remarkable maturity now possible from Islay’s pioneering farm distillery, founded in 2005. Unveiled during Feis Ile 2026 as the inaugural centerpiece of the Family Collection, this rare whisky stands as both a celebration of time and a tribute to the family’s enduring vision.

What makes this expression especially distinctive is the hands-on role of the founding Wills family. Each cask was personally reviewed and hand-selected by the five family members behind Kilchoman, including founder Anthony Wills and his sons, with their signatures featured on the label as a mark of authenticity and personal curation.

Crafted from heavily peated barley at 50ppm sourced from Port Ellen Maltings, rather than the estate-grown barley used for Kilchoman’s 100% Islay releases, this whisky delivers a deeper, more classic Islay smoke profile. After two decades of maturation in ex-bourbon casks, the spirit has developed exceptional depth while preserving the distillery’s signature balance of peat, purity, and elegance.

Bottled at 50.9% ABV, with natural color and no chill filtration, the Kilchoman 20 Year Old Family Collection (1st Edition) is a rare and historically significant release that unites heritage, craftsmanship, and character in one extraordinary whisky.
