Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Distillery Bottling 70cl / 46%
The excellent Kilchoman Machir Bay is one of the core range bottlings from Kilchoman, and makes a perfect introduction to what was until recently one of Islay's newest distilleries, having been founded by the Wills family in 2005.
Bottled at a hearty 46% without colouring or chill filtration, and named after the beautiful local beach where Islay's west coast faces the Atlantic, Kilchoman Machir Bay is the soul of the distillery, a beautiful marriage of ex-bourbon casks with a judicious smattering of sherry casks in the mix giving a unique balance of aromatic and coastal peat smoke, citrus and tropical fruit.
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.
