Three years since Kilchoman’s last Machir Bay Cask Strength release, the 2025 edition is here, and it delivers in every sense.

This is a peat lover’s dram through and through. Heavily peated and bottled at cask strength, it hits hard and leaves its mark. That’s the magic of Islay whiskies under ten years: vibrant, fearless, and full of character. From powerful smoke and bright citrus to warm spices and fresh vanilla, every sip commands attention.

Think of regular Machir Bay but turned up to full throttle!

Tasting Notes

Nose: Lemon peel, melon, floral notes and light peat smoke combine with sweet vanilla, honey.

Palate:  Rich chocolate, fresh citrus and hints of smoked meat with lingering caramel sweetness.

Finish:  Long and evolving with waves of integrated peat smoke, hints of spice and charred candied fruits.
