Kilchoman Ltd Ed Machir Bay Cask Strength 58.3%

58.3% | 70cl | Islay | Cask Strength | Limited Edition | Peated | ppm

Delayed from its scheduled release, the 2021 Machir Bay Cask Strength is finally here (in 2023!). This limited edition is made using the same vatting recipe as its regular Machir Bay bottling, however rather than reducing the strength to 46%, Kilchoman released a limited number of bottles at cask strength: 58.3% . The higher abv allows for the quality and intensity of the Kilchoman spirit to shine.

NOSE: Light, fruity notes with waves of fresh green apple followed by candied tropical fruits. Lasting hints of dry, earthy peat smoke become the backbone for this release.

PALATE: Powerful at cask strength, combining citrus notes of lemon and orange peel. As it opens, it reveals a dominant honeycomb-sweetness that makes way for milk chocolate.

FINISH: Black pepper spice and nutmeg, with an oily and smoky influence.
