Kilchoman Machir Bay Islay Single Malt

Description

Machir Bay is a peated Islay single malt whisky matured in previously used bourbon and sherry casks. Initial aromas of a seaside bonfire, with smoke and sea air, are complemented by crisp apple, citrus, heather and honey. It's smooth, with pleasantly warm spice and a lovely marriage of sweet and smoky flavours.

Tasting Notes

Pours a vivid pale gold; the aromas immediately hit your nose with notes of smoke and brine, reminiscent of a seaside bonfire. Digging deeper, one finds integrated aromas of crisp apple, lemon peel, dried heather and honey. On the palate, it is smooth and pleasantly warm, with a lovely marriage of sweet and smoky flavours.

Serving Suggestion

A beautiful and gentle beast, it is best enjoyed neat or with a drop of pure spring water. Pair it with freshly toasted baguette topped with cream cheese, smoked salmon and capers.
