Product description
Since its inception, the owners of Arran Distillery have experimented with different types of malts and casks.
Machrie Moor is an Arran whisky distilled from malt with a phenol concentration of 20 ppm and aged in bourbon barrels. Its name refers to the legend of Fingal, the giant warrior who chained his favorite dog Bran to a stone called Fingal's Cauldron Seat to guard the entrance to the unexplored peat bog of Machrie Moor on the west coast of the Isle of Arran. Machrie Moor debuted in 2010, and four years later a cask strength version hit the market. Here we present the fourth edition from October 2017 bottled at 58.1% alcohol in an edition limited to 10,500 bottles.
Aroma: fresh, citrus, pineapples, oranges, bananas, coconut flakes, vanilla, toffee, sea breeze and a delicate hint of peat smoke.
Taste : apples, oranges, bananas, honey, vanilla, sweet bread, a pinch of white pepper and cinnamon and wonderfully woven notes of peat.
Finish : quite long, with notes of vanilla, toffee, ripe apples, a pinch of salt and peat smoke in the background.
