“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.”
Master of Malt Customer
Description
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.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Citrus zests, crumbly vanilla biscuits and layers of elegant peat smoke.
Palate
A generous burst of tropical fruit and dried raisin opens the palate. Warming smoke continues to waft playfully.
Finish
Sherried fruits and sprinkle of cracked black pepper.
