Kilchoman Machir Bay has divided my friends who have tasted it. For some it is like a mild Lagavulin, for others it just doesn't do enough other than taste a little smokey and give a little tickle. If you are drawn to Islay whisky because of the boldness that one can easily fall in love with, you won't like this. If you're more inclined to mild subtlety that doesn't go overboard in any direction, give this one a try.
