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!
