Machir Bay (the name of the beach overlooked by the Kilchoman Church just half a mile from the distillery) is the flagship bottling of Kilchoman . It is a vatting of bourbon and sherry matured whisky, released every year since 2012.

Mind that this year they don’t seem to mention a bottling year nor any references to the age any more, perhaps because they’ll start having more than one batch a year soon? Based on previous editions, it should be 5 to 6 years old.

Nose: very sweet peat, lots of rummy...
