Three years after the last European Tour, the famous Kilchoman Landrover toured nine European countries from 24 September to 11 November 2018 with a new trailer. On board was the exclusive Tour Bottling listed here.

For the European Tour 2014 and the subsequent UK Land Rover Tour 2014, Kilchoman had bottled Machir Bay batches at cask strength for the first time as exclusive tour bottlings. These bottlings were a great success with Kilchoman fans, as they showed the well-known standard release undiluted with an even more pronounced fruitiness. In the following years, it became a nice tradition to bring out a Machir Bay Cask Strength edition for the Kilchoman marketing tours.

Kilchoman only deviated from this tradition for the 2023 European Tour. After Kilchoman had released two larger Machir Cask Strength Limited Editions in 2020 and 2022, they now wanted to offer the fans something new and decided on a vatting from bourbon and port casks.
