Kilchoman today announced an increase in production. From this week until the end of the year, the company will moving up to six mashes of 1 tonne per week. It will mean a shift system from 6.00am to 10.00pm on mondays and tuesdays to fit in the extra mash.

Kilchoman reported today that this year’s harvest has now been dried and is resting in the silos. The malting floor will then be put back into operation in November to process the barley. The quality is excellent and is as good as barley grown in the more traditional regions of the East Coast of Scotland. .

The Kilchoman distillery reported on its website today that it had recently installed a new 3-phase generator, which has slightly more power than the original generator. Sudden power cuts when all the machines are switched on should now be a thing of the past. .
