It is always a great pleasure to receive these awards and something that we are all incredibly proud of. Sanaig was introduced to the Kilchoman core release in and since launching, it has naturally evolved over the last 9 years.
Sanaig sits alongside Machir Bay as one of our two continual releases. After distillation, the spirit spends its life maturing independently in our on-site warehouses in both oloroso sherry hogsheads and bourbon barrels. The high proportion of oloroso sherry influence adds a balance of dried fruits and spices to classic Kilchoman citrus sweetness and peat smoke character. Have you tried Sanaig yet?

In the month of May, they embarked on a journey with some of their most precious cargo to date β a cask filled with Kilchoman Single Malt Scotch Whisky! The spirit was distilled and filled into a first-fill ex-bourbon barrel back in and since then it has been maturing for over 7 years in our traditional dunnage warehouses at Kilchoman Distillery.
Robin and the crew from Islay Sea Adventures carefully loaded the precious cargo on board the vessel on 17 th May in the bay at Port Ellen. The cask is due to return to Islay on 29 th May for bottling back at the distillery. Once bottled, the globe-trotting Kilchoman Single Malt Scotch Whisky will embark the HRX fleet again, to be served by the crew and enjoyed by guests on its final voyage. We are fascinated to see how the voyage impacts the maturation of this cask. Be sure to stay tuned for exiting updates on this remarkable journey!
To receive these gold medals is a special moment and one that our team at Kilchoman are proud of. Named after the unmistakable beach which can be found a short 5-minute drive from the distillery, our Machir Bay is created from 50ppm malted barley. After distillation, the spirit spends its life maturing independently in our on-site warehouses for a year period in both Bourbon casks and Oloroso Sherry hogsheads.
