Kilchoman Machir Bay is a peated Islay single malt that balances coastal smoke with bright fruit and vanilla sweetness. Its character brings together the island’s smoky style and a fresh, floral side.
Lemon, peach and pear lead into tropical fruit, honey and butterscotch, with peat smoke running throughout. A smaller sherry-cask contribution adds dried-fruit depth without overwhelming the whisky’s citrus character.
Named after the sandy bay near the distillery, it suits drinkers who enjoy pronounced peat alongside fruit and sweetness.
Tasting notes:
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.
