Machir Bay is a vatting of 5 and 6 year old ex-bourbon barrels and oloroso sherry butts. 46% ABV. The Machir Bay range is our core expression, first launched in 2012 when it won the prestigious IWSC 2012 Gold Award – Best in Class. Machir Bay is a picturesque sandy beach overlooked by the Kilchoman Church just half a mile from the distillery. Unlike most Kilchoman releases Machir Bay is matured in both Bourbon barrels and Sherry casks affording it a beautiful balance of rich tropical fruit, peat smoke, light vanilla and intense sweetness. Different editions of Machir Bay have been released in 2012, 2013 and 2014.
