About this product

Established in 2005, Kilchoman (pronounced Kilhoman) is one of the smallest distilleries in Scotland.  Based on a farm on the rugged west coast of Islay, Kilchoman is the first distillery to be built on the Island for 125 years. Matured in a combination of both Bourbon and Sherry casks, Kilchoman Machir Bay is a well-balanced combination of rich tropical fruit, peat smoke, light vanilla and intense sweetness.

This is a smoky, non age statement, peaty whisky from a new kid on the block of Islay. The finish is extremely long with a light coloured, vanilla and butterscotch flavour. I reckon this would be a good introduction for someone who is not u

A surprisingly good whisky for the price. The sherry / bourbon finish rounds out a very satisfying, peaty taste with lots of aroma.
