Kilchoman Machir Bay Cask Strength 2025 Release 58.1% 6 CL Sample

0.06 ltr 58.1%

This, the first release since the evolution of Machir Bay, is a dram for the true peat lover. Heavily peated and bottled at cask strength, it hits hard and leaves a lasting impression. That's the magic of Islay whiskies less than ten years old: vibrant, bold, and full of character.

From powerful smoke and bright citrus to warm spices and fresh vanilla, every sip is captivating. Think of a regular Machir Bay, but at full strength.

Machir Bay Cask Strength has a deep golden color, richer than the standard version. The nose is powerful and smoky, with sweet vanilla and caramel from the bourbon casks, layered with citrus and tropical fruit, and hints of floral and mineral complexity. On the palate, it is full and warming, with creamy malt sweetness balancing maritime peat smoke, fresh and candied citrus, toffee, and subtle spices. The finish is long and lingering, with smoke gradually giving way to vanilla, toasted coconut, and a soft salty note.

This dram is perfect for those looking for a more powerful and long-lasting Machir Bay experience.
