Kilchoman - Machir Bay Single Malt Whisky - 70cl
Founded in 2005 on the wild coast of Islay, Kilchoman is one of the smallest distilleries in Scotland. Its first whisky was born in 2009. Although recent, the distillery produces its whiskies using craft methods. Kilchoman is one of the few distilleries that malts its own barley and grows part of it. The distillery thus masters every step of whisky production, from barley to bottling. The iconic Kilchoman expression, Machir Bay, before being a whisky, is the name of a picturesque beach a few steps from the distillery on the island of Islay. This signature single malt is a blend of whiskies aged 90% in first-fill ex-bourbon casks and 10% in oloroso sherry casks. Heavily peated (50 ppm), non-chill-filtered, and uncolored, it is characterized by powerful notes of ashy smoke, citrus, white and tropical fruits, enhanced by a saline touch.- Origin: Scotland- Style: Smoky and elegant. - Nose: Soft and harmonious.
