Once harvested, Islay barley is hand malted on the Kilchoman malt floor, and gently turned twice daily by maltmen as it germinates. The green malt is then smoked using peat cut from the Cnoc Dubh peat banks, the thick peat smoke permeating each barley grain, creating the distinct smoky Kilchoman character.
