This is a beautiful Islay style, not so heavy as some but beautifully balanced. Has quite a light tone to it with a lemony note, as well as peat and smoke. Lovely finish. Extremely drinkable!
Sweet fruity flavours with lots of peat smoke. Lovely lingering finish.
Light coloured, and not the peatiest of Islay malts but the Kilchoman Machir Bay definitely has a pleasing smokiness, though interestingly this (to me) appears more on the palate than the nose. Alongside salted caramel flavours there is a lemony hint and a warming spiciness that carries through. A very pleasant, moderately complex drop at a reasonable price - win!
A really good Islay. Plenty of peat but well balanced with hints of fruit and vanilla. Great value around the $85 mark and a nice bit of variety if you're a regular Laphroig 10 or Talisker lover.
This is part of a wonderful collection of whiskies from a relative newcomer. Beautiful flavours on the nose and the tongue and an aftertaste that lingers with all that is best. If you want to try something new, this is a risk free venture.
