This year we are offering two Gift Sets:

– Machir Bay Gift Set
– Machir Bay & Sanaig Combo Set

MACHIR BAY
WITH TWO GLENCAIRN GLASSES

MACHIR BAY
Named after the most spectacular beach on Islay, Machir Bay is a vatting of approximately 80% bourbon barrels and 20% oloroso sherry casks.

Nose: Soft cooked fruits with strong peaty aromas.
Palate: Mixed fruits and vanilla with intense sweetness.
Finish: A long lingering finish.

“Machir Bay has a beautiful balance of vanilla, smokey butterscotch and rich fruitiness each contributing in complexity and combining to create a truly unique Islay dram” ~ Anthony Wills, Kilchoman Founder

GIFT SET CONTAINING
TWO 200ml BOTTLES:
MACHIR BAY and SANAIG (NEW!!!)

This Gift Set is perfect for introducing someone to Kilchoman. It contains replica bottles of the two ongoing expressions from the Kilchoman Distillery – Machir Bay and Sanaig.

SANAIG
Sanaig is rocky inlet just north of the distillery and is the name given to the predominantly sherry cask influenced core expression, a vatting of 70% oloroso sherry casks and 30% bourbon barrels.

Nose: Soft cooked fruits with caramel and vanilla.
Palate: Toffee, peat smoke and citrus with lingering sweetness.
Finish: A lovely balance of peat smoke, fruit and sweetness.

“A beautiful marriage of oloroso sherry and bourbon cask maturation balanced with classic Islay peat smoke and light citrus sweetness” ~ Robin Bignal, Kilchoman Manager

Old Forester K&L Exclusive Single Barrel #2023 Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whisky (750ml) ($39.99)

We’ve started to see more and more interest in the Old Forester brand as it represents some of the finest values in the industry. When we finally got into the distillery in Spring of 2017, we found a very classic operation using a proper souring room, like you’d find at Four Roses or Wild Turkey, and two of the only thumpers left in Kentucky. The result is one of the smoothest, easiest to appreciate bourbon on the market. This great little cask of Old Forester was dumped on July 28th, 2017 and distilled on November 1st, 2012. Incredible how much depth and complexity they achieve after only 4.5 years, the result of several cold winters in patent warehouses no doubt. The nose is toasted brown sugar, fresh mocha and herbal mint. On the palate, a sweet entry that remains super soft and fruity in the middle until a building spice on the finish. A long lingering black cherry note persists for a while after that. This whisky is so overt and approachable, almost any drinker will be able to appreciate the wonderful nuance and great drinkability here.

Littlemill 27 Year Old 1990 vintage Lowland single malt Scotch whisky. Bottle #136 from the 2017 release of 500 bottles matured in refill and first fill bourbon casks. Limited edition 2nd release of the Private Cellar Edition series. Includes a 5cl sample bottle and an encased section of an original Littlemill cask.

Littlemill Distillery was established in 1772 to the west of Bowling by the north shore of the River Clyde and on the main road into Glasgow. Subsequent modifications during the 1930s resulted in a number of novel features including double ventilation towers which sat over a single drying kiln and pot stills with rectifiers rather than the traditional swan necks. The combination of pot and column stills in Littlemill Distillery was designed to produce malt whiskey which was expected to mature quickly. When production ceased in 1992 Littlemill Distillery was the oldest working malt whiskey distillery in Scotland. Closed in 194 and demolished in 2006 and now Littlemill is a lost Scottish distillery although the shell of the manager’s house remains.
