Machir Bay, first launched in 2012, is the flagship of the Kilchoman core range, named after the beautiful beach on the west coast of Islay. Matured in a combination of predominantly ex-bourbon barrels with a small portion of ex-Oloroso sherry butts. Non-chilfiltered, naturally coloured and bottled at 46%. (Bottle size 750ml)
Nose: Lemon zest, vanilla and distinct coastal influence give way to floral intensity, juicy peaches, pears, and wafts of rich spices.
Palate: Bursts of tropical fruit and dried sultanas, warming smoke and waves of honey, malt, butterscotch and rich sweetness.
Finish: Sherry-soaked fruit, cracked black pepper and sea salt. Long-lasting with layers of citrus sweetness and maritime peat smoke.
