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.
High quality tasting whisky. Love the medicinal attributes, 100% win!
Fantasy in yellow peat ? Rich full pallete of fruit, barley and peat Love it
This is a very nice whisky from Islay's newest distillery. Probably behind Loch Gorm in overall, but has a strong peaty flavour and slight antisceptic odour when neat. Add a little water and it becomes magnificent and left me craving for more. I'm off to Islay in February where I will hopefully drown in the fine stuff.
Wow, buy one it´s just great!
After one week of oxidation the malt has developed with underflavorings of butterscotch, cream, and, yes, beautiful vanilla. I cannot wait to hear from the age statements that this company will make in a couple of years. I fully plan on following these guys for every year and every bottling that I can get my hands on. This stuff is gold, and will rival even the best islays one has ever had in a couple of years.
