From September 26th to October 9th, the whisky-loving Wills brothers will embark on a tour down the East Cost of the US spreading the word of Kilchoman, Islay’s Farm independent Distillery. James and Peter Wills, sons of Kilchoman Founder Anthony Wills will travel from Boston to Washington DC in their custom Land Rover making stops along the way to share a few drams and a story or two of Kilchoman, Islay and growing up in a distillery.
A special edition cask strength, 58.9% ABV, US Tour bottling of the distilleries flagship expression Machir Bay has been created especially for the tour. Just 840 bottles of the special edition will be available exclusively from stops made on their journey.
Recently awarded Best No Age Statement Single Malt Scotch at the International Wine & Spirits Competition and Best Peated Scotch Whisky at the International Whisky Competition, Kilchoman has quickly established itself in the whisky world. Tasting during the tour will feature all the latest Kilchoman releases as well as one or two surprises.
Check here for more information on Kilchoman. We’ll keep you posted about the Kilchoman tour and other ImpexBev brands on Facebook and Twitter.
So what are the places you will be stopping at? Is DC the farthest south you will be heading?
Please let me know as I live in Florida and will likely need to fly to one of your tastings.
Hi Chuck,
Thank you for your inquiry. The closest states to you will include the Mid-Atlantic region of Maryland, DC, and Delaware among others. Jared Card (jaredcard@impexbev.com) is our representative for that region and is the best person to contact for schedule and location. Have a great time meeting the Wills brothers and being part of this remarkable tour!
When are you coming to Chicago?
Hi James,
No, the tour is not going to be covering Chicago this year. It will be NY, NJ, CT, MA, RI, MD, ME, DC, DE. As for the Kilchoman events in your area, Whisky Jewbilee is fast approaching http://whiskyjewbilee.com/ where several Kilchoman expressions will be featured. Hope to see you there!
When are you coming to the west coast, Los Angeles to be specific? Im tasting the 100
% Islay as I type. Chuck
Hi Chuck, thank you for your patience. This year the Kilchoman Tour is on the West Coast, staring in Southern California!
Stay tuned for the official itinerary for your area coming up soon!
We will have a limited release of the 2017 Kilchoman West Coast Tour bottling, so make sure to make space in your cabinet for the collection. Or at least rinse that Glencairn glass 😉
Hi Chuck,
We are shooting for a West Coast Tour in 2017. I am glad you are enjoying the 100% Islay! For Kilchoman activities in your area, please contact Chris Uhde at chrisu@jvsimports.com.
