Machir Bay Cask Strength 2025
November 4, 2025Three years since our last Machir Bay Cask Strength release, the 2025 edition is here, and it delivers in every sense.
“One of my favourite whiskies we have released, it has everything I love about Kilchoman spirit, with a little extra punch. There will be a lot of happy Kilchoman fans seeing the Machir Bay Cask Strength back on shelves.” Anthony Wills, Kilchoman Founder.
This, the first release since the Machir Bay Evolution, is a peat lover’s dram through and through. Heavily peated, and bottled at cask strength; it hits hard and leaves its mark. That’s the magic of Islay whiskies under ten years: vibrant, fearless, and full of character. From powerful smoke and bright citrus to warm spices and fresh vanilla, every sip commands attention. Think of regular Machir Bay but turned up to full throttle.
Machir Bay Cask Strength shows a deep golden colour, richer than the standard expression. The nose is bold and smoky, with sweet vanilla and caramel from the bourbon barrels, layered with citrus and tropical fruit, and hints of floral and mineral complexity. On the palate, it is full-bodied and warming, with creamy malt sweetness balancing maritime peat smoke, fresh and candied citrus, toffee, and subtle spice. The finish is long and lingering, with smoke gradually giving way to vanilla, toasted coconut, and a soft saline note. This dram is perfect for those seeking a powerful and prolonged Machir Bay experience.
