Fèis Ìle 2011

The Kilchoman open day at the Islay Festival Fèis Ìle took place on 26 May this year. As a highlight, Kilchoman released an exclusive Fèis Ìle bottling for the second time. Two first-fill ex-bourbon barrels, filled on 20 April 2006, were finished for just over four months in a refill sherry butt and bottled on 5 May 2011. The yield was 531 bottles with an alcohol content of 59.5 %, which were sold at the Kilchoman Open Day for £69.

Apart from that, Kilchoman again offered a lot of interesting programme items at the Fèis Ìle: General and Manager Tours, “Work experience” – here you could become part of the production team for a few hours, discussion rounds including cask tasting with Anthony Wills “The story so far…” and John MacLellan “A glimpse of the future…”, plus of course BBQ and bar, as well as live music.
