The perfect introduction to Islay's farm distillery, ready to give. This gift set pairs a full 70cl bottle of Kilchoman Machir Bay with two Kilchoman-branded tumblers.
Machir Bay is Kilchoman's signature peated single malt, named after the sweeping beach a short walk from the distillery. It's matured mostly in ex-bourbon barrels with a touch of Oloroso sherry, so the smoke comes balanced by sweet vanilla and fruit. That makes it one of the most approachable peated whiskies around.
Who it's for: A brilliant gift for peat lovers, and an easy way into smoky whisky for the curious. Ideal for Christmas, birthdays and Father's Day.
How to enjoy it: Neat in the tumblers, or with a splash of water to soften the smoke.
