Kilchoman Distillery officially opened

On 3 June 2005, the distillery (which was still under construction) was officially opened during the Islay Festival, Fèis Ìle. Although the Kiln and Warehouse No. 1 were not yet complete, the stillhouse – with all its fittings – and the malting floor were ready, and it was on the malting floor that the official opening took place. The visitor centre, which included a small café, was also already open.

Visitors were free to look around the distillery and the very first Kilchoman tours took place. It was announced that the first spirit would be distilled on this day, but this schedule could not be kept due to some construction delays.
