Kilchoman's Machir Bay is an excellent single malt Scotch whisky from the isle of Islay. The distillers use whisky which has been matured in ex-bourbon barrels and Oloroso Sherry butts, resulting in a well-balanced flavour profile, with highlights of vanilla biscuits, light fruit and wafts of warm peat smoke. A top expression from Islay's farm distillery.
Citrus zests, crumbly vanilla biscuits and layers of elegant peat smoke.
A generous burst of tropical fruit and dried raisin opens the palate. Warming smoke continues to waft playfully.
Sherried fruits and sprinkle of cracked black pepper.
Young, harsh aggressive. Needs more aging. Over priced. There are better Islay malts out there. Prefer Lavagulan or Laphroaig.
This whiskey is good, smooth to the palate, it’s the type of whiskey to bring out on special occasions, With friends who are off the same mind with similar tastes, however it’s also a whiskey you can enjoy in the peace and comfort of your home.
Love this whiskey
A very young and over priced Islay malt for me. Rather spend a few pounds extra for an Ardbeg 10 or even another tenner for Lagavulin 16. It's very bland, simply peat smoke overload with a hint of tropical fruit and vanilla.
This is a great dram no doubt, but do miss the oakyness of the 2013 predecessor.
