Kilchoman's Machir Bay Collaborative Vatting

I was able to get my hands on a collaborative vatting done by the Whisk(e)y Soaked Souls and I have to say I had my doubts that there would be a noticeable difference from the standard Machir Bay.  I really should know better. It is just enough that it makes the Machir Bay more approachable, dare I say softer?  The additional Sherry just brings the right amount of fruit up into the peat that now it feels balanced.  It literally made my mouth water, and I am not sure I have ever said that about an Islay Whisky before.  A wonderful dram!

Cheers!
