Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 
Distillery Bottling 70cl / 46% 

The excellent Kilchoman Machir Bay is a vatting of whiskies predominately matured in first-fill bourbon casks and a much smaller number from sherry casks.

This beautiful marriage gives a unique balance of aromatic and coastal peat smoke, citrus and tropical fruit.

Blooming lovely!

Located on the west coast of Islay, Machir Bay is a beautiful but wild long sweeping stretch of beach just a stone's throw from Kilchoman Distillery. Kilchoman is the only farm distillery on Islay, and the only distillery in Scotland to distil whisky from barley grown and malted on one site.

A delectable dram

Wow, what a whisky this is. One of those drams that carries a lot of different characteristics, with a little peat smoke, a little sherry cask influence and plenty of top notch ex-bourbon barrel in the flavour profile. I purchased this as part of a few Islay drams to accompany the reading of "Peat, Smoke & Spirit" by Andrew Jefford, an excellent book that was recommended to me by a member of the Whisky Online team. This Machir Bay is a lovely dram, not to be dismissed due to the lack of an age statement, with a complex flavour profile that certainly dismisses any perception that "all Islay whiskies are heavily peated". I look forward to tasting more of their range. Excellent value too at £45.
