Kilchoman
Scotland
Single Malt
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.
My husband, a long time Islay drinker, insists this is THE BEST one he has ever tasted.
The first dram of this extraordinary, the smell, the colour, the taste. However, the second and third dram are less impressive. Something about it lingers a little 'thick' (for lack of a better word) in the mouth. Still a cracker of a whiskey for the price, and a young distillery.
Tastes warm and peaty. Not a lot of smoke on the nose but a little vanilla, and a touch of fruit. Nice finish with lots of peaty peppery goodness.
a 2-3 step beyond Islay's malts. Peat is gentle, and enhances the "basis", which reveals lots of parfums and flavours. A really different whisky, which confirms the Kilchoman's philosophy, a project well defined and better achieved. I tried the 100% Islay (either 8th Edition either Single Cask) and Sanaig, and all have a "soul", you feel (and taste) that Kilchoman's releases have something very special and different from the mass production which almost represents the whisky world today (production mostly for sales and profit = smooth and "sweet" malts everyone may like and buy). I thank KIlchoman owner who had the courage to start a new era and philosophy on whisky making, hoping he and his distillery would keep on making whiskies like the ones KIlchoman releases.
Smells like tequila and peat. Tastes the same. Fine but not good or excellent. Bit too young, smoke covering up some of the short comings. Certainly not worth £10 more than laphroaig 10 and for a few extra pounds Ardbeg 10 is a much better whisky.
