Kilchoman Machir Bay – Islay Farm-Distilled Core Expression

Kilchoman’s Machir Bay captures the soul of Islay with its smoky, fruity complexity. A signature bottling, it blends predominantly bourbon barrel aging with a touch of Oloroso sherry, creating fragrance and depth in equal measure.

Dive in and the nose greets you with coastal breeze, lemon zest, vanilla, floral notes, juicy peaches, pears, and warm spice. On the palate, you’ll find tropical bursts of fruit and sultanas, layered with gentle smoke, honey, malt, and butterscotch sweetness. The finish unfolds with rich sherry-soaked fruit, cracked pepper, salt spray, and long-lasting waves of citrus and maritime peat.

Lightly peated (around 50 PPM), approachable yet full of character, Machir Bay exemplifies Kilchoman’s farm-distillery ethos, barley to bottle, sustainable, authentic.
