A limited edition bottle of Kilchoman Distillery’s first ever single malt from cask number one, filled in December 2005, was sold at auction for a staggering £5,400. The winning bid was made by Niels Ladefoged, originally from Denmark and who lives in the UK. The bottle of the three year old single malt has a unique design and is the only one of its kind. All proceeds of the auction will go to Islay charities.

The Whisky Galore store will be releasing the first bottling from Kilchoman before Christmas 2009.

John Mowbray (MourBray) converted a derelict mill in 1806, located next to the River Devron just before it entered the Forth estuary, into a distillery. He registered the business in 1813 gaining land title in 1823; during the same year he started producing grain whisky on possibly an early coffey still or similar.

At a un-recorded point the business passed to his son James who expanded the distillery further. However in 1843 he was sequestrated and the business passed to his son Robert.

He further expanded the distillery adding a larger continuous still in 1851 making Cambus one of the largest grain distilleries.

In 1966 operation was moved to Scottish Grain Distillers Ltd However this investment was not enough to keep the distillery open and in 1993 United Distillers closed the distillery down.
