Kilchoman Machir Bay erstmals in Fassstärke! Limited Edition!

 

On Islay, even the sheep celebrate the festive season. There´s nothing better on a dark wintery night than a large dram of cask strength Kilchoman. So this year the Kilchoman distillery has decided that rather than reducing Machir Bay to the standard 46% abv bottling strength they will release a limited number of bottles at cask strength; 58,6% abv. That should keep out the cold! The peat level is 50 parts per million.

 

Nose: Lemon zest, vanilla and distinct coastal influence give way to floral intensity, juicy peaches, pears and wafts of rich spices.
Palate: Bursts of tropical fruit and dried sultanas, warming smoke and waves of honey, malt, butterscotch and rich sweetness.
Finish: Sherry-soaked fruit, cracked black pepper and sea salt. Long-lasting with layers of citrus sweetness and maritime peat smoke.
