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.
Pretty decent whisky at a pretty reasonable price.
Rich, smoky, and just sweet enough.
All anyone could want from an Islay malt. Rich, smooth and peaty! Superb.
Great on all fronts, and a bargain for the money. A lot of warmth makes it past the peat, without obscuring the medicinal aspects of the palate. Nose is very akin to a well-made Smoky Bear cocktail. Nice satisfying mouthfeel and finish. Tropical notes abound, with vanilla, biscuit and pepper. Buy it, don't waste your time saving a few quid buying anything cheaper from Islay. Ardbeg and Kilchoman are where it's at.
Almost as good as Ardbeg Uigeadail. Natural color, non-chill filtered, 46 and so smooth and oily. Amazing dram!
