Founded in 2005, Kilchoman Distillery is Islay’s first new distillery in over a century and a pioneer of the “farm distillery” model. Producing whisky from barley grown and malted on-site, Kilchoman combines traditional methods with a fiercely independent spirit, creating bold and characterful single malts that capture the essence of Islay’s rugged terroir.

The Machir Bay Cask Strength 2025 Edition is a powerful, unfiltered expression of Kilchoman’s signature style. Bottled at natural cask strength, it amplifies the classic Machir Bay profile—intense peat smoke, bright citrus and creamy vanilla—into a more concentrated and dynamic experience. Youthful yet complex, this is an unapologetically bold Islay whisky, delivering energy, depth and precision in every sip.

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

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

Finish: Long and evolving with integrated peat smoke, gentle spice and charred candied fruits
