Kilchoman Machir Bay Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature
In stock
Machir Bay is a vatting of Kilchoman matured in both Bourbon and Sherry casks. Named after Islay’s most spectacular beach, the high proportion of Bourbon barrels create a distinct balance of classic Islay character and fresh floral complexity.
Lemon zest, vanilla and distinct coastal influence give way to floral intensity, juicy peaches, pears, and wafts of rich spices. Bursts of tropical fruit and dried sultanas, warming smoke and waves of honey, malt, butterscotch and rich sweetness flow on the palate. This is finished by Sherry soaked fruit, cracked black pepper and sea salt. Long lasting with layers of citrus sweetness and maritime peat smoke.
