Kilchoman set
to buy Rockside Farm where the
distillery is located.
The Kilchoman Distillery Company Limited
today announced that they have agreed to
buy Rockside Farm where the distillery
is located on the Isle of Islay from the
current owners.
After more than 30 years on Islay, the
current owners Mark and Rohaise French
have decided to sell Rockside Farm in
order to pursue new opportunities off
the island, including spending more time
with their four grown up children, who
now all have families of their own.
Mark French said: "It has been a
wonderful privilege to live at Rockside,
for the children to have grown up in
this idyllic part of the world, and to
have seen the distillery become the
success it is today."
Anthony Wills, Managing Director of
Kilchoman Distillery commented: “We have
always been proud to produce whisky from
barley to bottle and the purchase of
Rockside Farm secures this vision for
the future”.
Rockside Farm will run as normal until
the property changes hands at the end of
November 2015.
You will find the complete current range of Kilchoman single malt
Islay whisky available from
