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 released in 2009. Although recent, the distillery produces its whiskies in a traditional, artisan way. Kilchoman is one of the few distilleries to malt its own barley and to grow part of it. The distillery thus masters every stage of whisky production, from barley to bottling.The iconic expression of Kilchoman, Machir Bay was, before being a whisky, 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), neither chill-filtered nor coloured, it is characterised by powerful notes of ashy smoke, citrus, white and tropical fruits, lifted by a hint of salinity.- Origin: Scotland- Style: Smoky and elegant. - Nose: Soft and harmonious. Cooked fruits. Peat aroma. - Palate: Full-bodied. Notes of fruit and vanilla. - Finish: Long and lingering, with notes typical of Islay whiskies.
