Kilchoman Machir Bay Cask Strength (2021 Edition)

A pleasant earthy sensation with faint floral notes and a very sweet iodine vanilla. Adding water dissipates the smoke but preserves the earthiness, revealing sweet fruits like plums and apricots. On the palate, the smoke is expertly balanced, allowing you to perceive sweet fruits alongside delightful dark chocolate and dried sweet fruits. The finish is extended, featuring earthiness, dark chocolate, earthy potatoes, and apricot fruit powder.

Peat, alcohol, and wood on the nose. The taste is dominated by wood and alcohol, with smoke in the background. Despite being only 1.3% stronger, it feels more alcoholic than the batch strength.

A delightful combination of peat and spice, with wonderful earthy notes! It's well-balanced with a pleasing sweetness throughout.

Exceptional value. The smokiness is remarkably well incorporated throughout.
