ISLAY'S newest distiller has secured financial backing from the Clydesdale Bank to help build a bonded warehouse on the island, boosting its storage capacity by up to 9000 casks.
Kilchoman Distillery, which grows barley for whisky production on site, may even need to build a further warehouse within two years if demand at home and abroad keeps up.
Kilchoman, whose core brand is the Machir Bay vatted malt, released its first spirit three years after production started in 2005. It was the first distillery built on Islay in 124 years.
