Hide All Details
The Machir Bay range is Kilchoman’s core expression, first launched in 2012 when it won the prestigious IWSC 2012 Gold Award – Best in Class. Bottled once a year, each release contains more mature casks allowing Kilchoman fans to follow the development of the unique Kilchoman malt as it matures. Matured in a combination of both bourbon and sherry casks, Machir Bay has a well-balanced combination of rich tropical fruit, peat smoke, light vanilla and intense sweetness.
Sanaig is a beautiful marriage of bourbon and sherry cask maturation balanced with classic Islay peat smoke and light citrus sweetness.
Colour: Beech wood.
Nose: Soft cook fruits with caramel and vanilla.
Palate: Toffee, peat smoke and citrus with lingering sweetness.
Finish: A lovely balance of peat smoke, fruit and sweetness.

Founded in 2005, Kilchoman is Islay’s first new distillery in over 125 years and claims to be the only Scotch whisky producer to carry out every element of the whisky making process on site, from barley growing through to malting and bottling.
Kilchoman is one of the smallest distilleries in Scotland with an annual production of 90,000 litres of alcohol. It is the only inland distillery on the Island and is one of only six distilleries in Scotland to have its own floor maltings.
However the key difference at Kilchoman is that the barley is grown on the farm at the distillery, whereas other distilleries purchase barley from around the country.
