Kilchoman Machir Bay

This one is for peat and bourbon barreled scotch lovers. If you're one of those, you'll love this scotch! Intense peat and very sweet vanilla nose, unlike anything I know. The peat is herbal but not medicinal, with a bit of ash. Maybe a bit of citrus. Heavy ashes and intense vanilla taste, a bit of earthiness. Earthy aftertaste with some ashes. Quite peaty finale. The herbal aspect comes out too after a while. Strongly typed flavour profile, hit or miss depending on your taste. If you're a sherry-peat fan you may not like this.

Huge campfire and peat on the nose. Initially the peat is overwhelming but after a sip or two, you begin to get vanilla and marshmallow on the nose. That same smokiness come through on the palate and lingers with a very full mouthfeel. An excellent example of an Islay Scotch

It had a bright, smoky nose for me with buttery (slightly sweet), peaty, lightly peppery tastes. I like it!

It's good but does not compare to Islays like Ardbeg or Lagavulun
