SANAIG SCORES 95

June 8, 2018

Sanaig has been awarded 95 points in this year’s Ultimate Spirits Challenge, a great result which puts Sanaig in the Extraordinary, Ultimate Recommendation category. The score follows Machir Bay’s 95 points in last year’s competition; a nice run of results for our two core expressions.

Machir Bay and Sanaig are both a combination of bourbon and sherry matured Kilchoman however their differing vatting proportions, Machir Bay being 90% bourbon matured and Sanaig 70% sherry matured, create two distinct characters; the earthy, citrus, maritime, Machir Bay and the rich, fruity Sanaig. Take a look in the Whisky Shop or more details on these two flagships of the Kilchoman range.
