Bundle Kilchoman Machir Bay + Port Askaig 8y + Smokehead + Macleods Islay free
Kilchoman Machir Bay is an excellent but mainly high quality Scottish single malt whisky, which comes from the Islay area. Machir Bay was named after a small but very nice beach in Scotland.
Whiskey matured for about 6 years in first-filled ex-bourbon barrels. In the end, it was filled into ex-sherry Oloroso barrels, which led to an amazingly balanced taste profile. It has a fantastically pleasant scent with tones of vanilla biscuits, fruit and warm peat smoke.
We recommend serving with a drop of water, but preferably clean at room temperature. It comes in a very nice blue-gold gift box.

The Macleod's Regional Malts collection is a perfect introduction to the world of Scottish single malt whiskey. It contains a selection of single malt Scotch whiskeys, which according to Macleod's are the most representative for the region.
Islay is the most famous of the Scottish islands for whiskey production. Distillers on this small island, Westerly, produce some of the strongest phenolic malts. Islay whiskey is easily identifiable due to its specific taste. Macleod's Islay is no exception. This Scotch single malt whiskey matured in oak barrels for eight years. It is robust, sea-tasting and intensely peat. The taste is immense with tones of sherry, peat, smoke and sea salt. Not for the faint of heart.
