Kilchoman Machir Bay (2016 Edition)

Nice smokeyness, not too harsh after

Very peaty, smokey , and great

Not much more you can say about this whiskey other than it is a damn good Islay. It shines in particular in the fact that it is only 6 years old. The nuance and complexity off of this is easily what you’d expect off a 10 year +. Nose: peat, smoke, bright floral notes, honey, candied apples and pears. Taste: almost identical to the nose. Bomb of peat and smoke off the start. Fades into dense honey and stewed apples. Lingers for a good while. Very oily.
