The Arran Malt Machrie Moor 10 Year Old is a peated single malt whisky with a phenol content of 20 ppm, matured in first-fill bourbon casks. Produced in limited quantities by the Arran distillery, located on the Isle of Arran in Scotland, this whisky captures the essence of its rugged and mystical origins. The peat used in this whisky is sourced from the Machrie Moor, a windswept peat bog famous for its ancient stone circles and standing stones. Bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration or added coloring, this whisky shines with a warm gold color. It is characterized by its freshness, added smokiness, and earthiness, offering a delightful touch of peat smoke. Crafted from Island single malt matured in first-fill bourbon barrels, the 10-year-old expression of Machrie Moor introduces the drinker to the classic Arran malt profile with a unique peaty twist. On the nose, aromas of vanilla, spices, smoked peat, and stewed fruit mingle with hints of pear, banana, and a salty marine character. The palate is full-bodied and youthful, with a gradual development from spicy notes and orchard fruits to a more woody flavor profile. It has a slightly oily and tingling texture, with light smoke, pear juice, malt beer, vanilla, ginger ale, and fine oak spice. The finish is mid-length, rich, and full, featuring impressions of pepper, honey, and a lingering beach bonfire with a hint of metallic notes. This whisky is a brilliant example of the high-quality spirits produced in the Hebrides islands, competing strongly with the top-selling peated whiskies from Islay. It is a must-try for both beginners and experienced whisky lovers, offering a balanced and unique addition to the Arran portfolio.
