Historic Details:
Picture this: Kilchoman Distillery, the new kid on the Islay block since 2005, making waves with their commitment to handcrafted goodness. Machir Bay, named after the stunning beach nearby, is a tribute to Islay’s maritime beauty. This 700ml bottle packs a punch of Islay charm that’s been kissed by the sea breeze for years.

Color:
In your glass, Machir Bay unfurls a warm golden hue, reminiscent of the sun setting over Islay’s peat-laden fields. The color hints at the whisky’s time dancing in bourbon and sherry casks, soaking in the flavors of the island.

Tasting Notes:
Now, let’s talk about the good stuff:

– Aroma: Close your eyes and breathe in the harmony of citrus zest, vanilla, and a waft of that signature Islay peat smoke. It’s like a seaside picnic with a basket full of lemons and campfire marshmallows.

– Palate: Take a sip, and you’re on Islay’s rugged coastline. The taste buds get a treat of tropical fruits, creamy malt, and a hint of toffee sweetness. The peat makes a grand entrance, but it’s a friendly hug, not a punch.

– Finish: The finale? A lingering embrace of maritime notes, more peat whispers, and a touch of spice. It’s like a farewell wave from the sea breeze as it skips over the waves.
