"Quite the flavour sensation - sweet, pepper, smoke. Very direct flavour that could be a bit more "integrated" but I guess this is a bit nontraditional which is needed in whisky making. Looking forward to trying more from this distillery - this has peaked my interest."
"I tasted this at the Whisky Live Festival in Sandton and it was simply amazing, enough said!!!"
"Great addition to the Islay malts, tried a few of their whiskies and they all deliver"
"Had this at the bar. little bit hesistant as its very new and like my peaty stuff but wow what a great shock, peaty but just the right ammount and enough to get the subtle flavours of some dark fruit and spice... little gem this one"
"A beautifully balance between honey and smoky peat flavours."
"Many might believe that whisky drinkers want aged Islays to soften the peat. Kilchoman Machir Bay was the first whisky that I had, which changed my opinion. The peat punch you get from this younger Islay is absolutely superb. This definitely carries the signature flavour of Kilchoman and from my experience, it only gets better from here. if you like peat, this is a must-have."
"What a stunning whisky. The entry to a world of absolutely amazing whisky. Kilchoman Machir Bay is absolutely stunning. You'll definitely be hooked and looking for a few more Kilchoman bottlings after this one."
"Young, but oh so good. Gently peated; the smell bringing to mind a used hearth. And under the smoke is crème brûlée. I can't really find the sherry, but there's a roundness to the flavours that then spike, tart and spicy."
"Well, if you like peat, then Machir Bay (aka Jnr) is certainly the right place to start. Find her light, refreshing and a very tantalising peat centre which swirls around your taste buds for some time. A great “Go To dram”"
"Unique. Worth every cent. Not a whisky you want to share with friends."
