Kilchoman Machir Bay (2012 Edition)

From beginning of the nose, up until the aftertaste, you will get that surgery butter taste, not like movie buttered popcorn, but the kinda sugary butter you'd get from the buttered bread you get from Sizzler, if that makes any sense. That butter taste is what makes this whiskey unique, I definitely would buy another bottle.

smokey, light, vanilla, cinnamon

It's an Islay Whisky.... what do you expect me to score? Beautiful expression, a typical islay profile with some interesting notes. The aftertaste is the best of this dram. 46%abv, pale straw color. On the nose: pepper, peat, rubber, smoke, hints of lemon, olives and.... socks, Lol (but true). On the palate, Grapes (nice nice nice note), pepper, english sauce, hard salt, spicy. Finish is mostly spicy and smoky. Very well crafted. Overall i give this Machir Bay, a baby islay dram, (kilchoman was born in 2005 or so) a proper 94 over 100. Slainte!

Very peaty and charcoal smell. Peaty and spice on the middle of your tongue. With a quick smooth finish of charcoal.

Very predominant smokey and peppery notes. Strong peaty smoke peppery taste with a punch of alcohol on the palate. Smooth for a 46% ABV.

Had a sip, and it has very strong medicinal and herbal taste to it. Not enough smokiness or richness to balance it out
