The Arran Machrie Moor 2nd Edition The Peated Arran Malt is a whisky that embodies the rugged and myth-steeped landscape of the island it hails from. Bottled at 46% ABV and non-chill filtered, this single malt displays the freshness of Arran's island house style, with an added puff of peat smoke and earthiness. The peat smoke and grass notes are complemented by vanilla, sharp citrus, and a touch of tropical fruit.
This whisky is named after a peat bog on the west coast of the Isle of Arran, where, according to legend, the giant Fingal kept his favored pet dog. The name Machrie Moor is fitting for this peated whisky, as it is made from peated malt (20 ppm) that is evident in both its aroma and taste.
The Arran Distillery, located on the Isle of Arran, was founded in 1993 and began distillation in 1995. It was the first of the new wave of Scottish distilleries and paved the way for the rise of small 'craft' distilleries this century. The distillery has four stills and produces both peated and unpeated whisky. The unpeated malt is bottled as Arran, while the peated spirit is released as Machrie Moor.
The 2nd edition of Arran Machrie Moor peated single malt whisky was released in 2011 as a limited edition, with only 12,000 bottles made available. This whisky is a fantastic example of a peated Arran and comes in the original tin tube. A very pleasant lightly smoked whisky with a fantastic fresh bitterness and a unique balance between sweet and sour. The more you taste it, the more flavors you discover, and the more you want to taste.
