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.



Previous news

Coleburn Distillery was founded by John Robertson & Son Ltd. (blenders from Dundee) in the late 1890s and it was designed by the famous Elgin architect Charles Doig. In 1916, it was purchased by Clynelish Distillery Co. Ltd., and then in 1925, it was taken over by the partnership Distillers Company Ltd. (DCL), John Walker & Sons and John Risk. In 1930, it was then managed by Scottish Malt Distillers and DCL. At the time of its closing in 1985, it was licensed to J & G Stewart, blenders from Edinburgh.
 
Coleburn whisky was always intended for blending. It was a contributor to the Andrew Usher blends and was a part of the Johnny Walker blends during its more productive years. It is mostly available from independent bottlers and the occasional Rare Malts bottling.
 
Coleburn's house style: dry, fruity, apertif.
