Kilchoman Machir Bay Coffret 2 Glasses Single Malt Scotch Whisky Gift Set – 70cl
Before it also became a whisky, Machir Bay, the iconic version from Kilchoman, was only the name of a stunning picturesque beach a stone’s throw from the distillery on the island of Islay. This signature single malt is a blend of whiskies that have aged 90% in first-fill ex-bourbon casks and 10% in Oloroso sherry casks. Older every year, this ageless whisky matures like the distillery itself. Highly peaty (50 ppm) and neither chill filtered nor coloured, the whisky is characterised by strong flavours of ash smoke, citrus, and white and tropical fruit, enhanced by a hint of salt. Machir Bay now comes in a gift box with two brand-new glasses designed to reflect the history of the Kilchoman farm distillery, which grows some of its barley on its own land.
TASTING NOTES
Nose: Citrus zests, crumbly vanilla biscuits and layers of elegant peat smoke.
Palate: A generous burst of tropical fruit and dried raisin opens the palate. Warming smoke continues to waft playfully.
Finish: Sherried fruits and sprinkle of cracked black pepper.
