Expert's description

Kilchoman Machir Bay Gift Box is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky presented with two branded tumbler glasses, bottled at 46 %.

Machir Bay is Kilchoman's flagship, named after the iconic beach close to the distillery, and best represents the house style: fresh, smoky and well balanced. The whisky is built from a blend of 3, 4 and 5 year old bourbon casks, where the 4 year old casks receive a finishing period of around eight weeks in used sherry casks before bottling.

The box contains both the bottle and two tumbler glasses carrying the Kilchoman logo, making it a natural gift idea for the whisky enthusiast who wants the full set-up to enjoy a dram the way it's meant to be enjoyed.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh citrus, sea breeze and light peat smoke meet vanilla and tropical fruit, with a hint of florals in the background.

Palate

Creamy and balanced, with honeyed sweetness, citrus and butterscotch playing alongside spiced undertones from the sherry casks.

Finish

Medium to long, with lingering smoke, salted caramel and a dry, pleasant close.
