Pol Roger signs Kilchoman for UK portfolio

Pol Roger has signed independent single malt Scotch whisky brand Kilchoman to its UK portfolio of family-owned brands.

Kilchoman Islay Scotch whisky will be represented in the UK by Pol Roger Portfolio

The Islay single malt whisky has become the third spirit represented in the UK by Pol Roger, joining the likes of Hine and Glenfarclas.

Founded in 2005 on farmland on the west coast of Islay, Kilchoman was the first distillery to be built on the island for 125 years.

Pol Roger will oversee the release of several new expressions from the distillery this year, including Kilchoman Loch Gorm and 100% Islay in April, and Kilchoman Madeira Cask and 2008 Vintage in the autumn.

Pol Roger Portfolio now represents nine beverage brands in the UK, including Stagklin Family Vineyard, Robert Sinskey Vineyards, Crown Estates, Josmeyer, Maison Joseph Drouhin and Pol Roger.
