Machir Bay Evolution

The design of Machir Bay and Sanaig hasn’t changed since they were launched in 2012 and 2016, however, while creating our recent 16 Year Old and Batch Strength labels, we loved the matching label colours so much, we’re bringing it to the full Core Range.
The new vatting of Machir Bay, along with the new labels for both Machir Bay and Sanaig, are now hitting shelves around the world.
