Description
The distillery says: Machir Bay, named after Islay's most spectacular beach, is a vatting of Kilchoman matured in both bourbon and sherry casks. The high proportion of bourbon barrels creates a unique balance of aromatic peat smoke, citrus sweetness and tropical fruit. This limited edition is released for the festive season and is bottled at cask strength.
