Kilchoman Machir Bay Single Malt Whisky
Kilchoman Machir Bay is a signature Islay single malt whisky, renowned for its harmonious blend of coastal peat smoke and vibrant fruit character. Named after one of Islay’s most picturesque beaches, Machir Bay reflects the distillery’s commitment to traditional methods and local provenance. It is matured in a combination of ex-bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry butts, resulting in a whisky that balances classic Islay smokiness with layers of sweetness and complexity. Kilchoman, one of Scotland’s few farm distilleries, grows and malts its own barley, ensuring full traceability from field to bottle. On the nose, Machir Bay opens with lemon zest, vanilla, and a distinct coastal influence , followed by floral intensity and ripe stone fruits such as peaches and pears. The palate delivers bursts of tropical fruit, dried sultanas, and warming smoke , underpinned by honeyed malt, butterscotch, and rich sweetness . Hints of sherry-soaked fruit, cracked black pepper, and sea salt emerge, adding depth and texture. The finish is long-lasting and layered , with citrus sweetness and maritime peat smoke lingering gracefully. This expression is a compelling introduction to Kilchoman’s house style, offering a well-rounded and memorable Islay experience that appeals to both newcomers and seasoned whisky enthusiasts.
Longrow Peated Single Malt Whisky
Longrow Peated is made by Springbank and offers those who enjoy a heavily peated whisky the chance to enjoy a lingering smoky taste that travels through the senses like the smoke billows from a kiln. Aromas are very creamy, vanilla custard. The smoke develops and toasted marshmallows, herbs and rich fruits appear over time. The palate is incredibly well balanced – rich and creamy with a slight medicinal hint. The smoke is always present and washes over the palate in waves which leads to a gentle smoky finish that lingers and lingers. 1 per Customer/Address only.
