The Arran Malt Machrie Moor Cask Strength is an exceptional peated single malt whisky from the renowned Isle of Arran Distillery, situated in Lochranza, Arran. Established in 1995 with production commencing in 1998, the distillery quickly earned acclaim for its young whiskies. The distillery's growth led to the installation of additional stills at the Lochranza site and the opening of a second distillery, Lagg, on the south side of the Isle of Arran in 2019. Lagg now focuses on peated whiskies, working in harmony with its sister distillery.
Machrie Moor Cask Strength is a powerful expression of the Arran's peated Machrie Moor single malt, bottled at a robust 56.2% ABV. This whisky is meticulously crafted to reflect the rugged, myth-strewn landscape of the Isle of Arran. Distilled from peated malt sourced from Machrie Moor, a peat bog on the island, it offers sharp citrus notes and brooding peat smoke that persist into a long-lasting finish. This cask-strength whisky is presented without chill filtration or added coloring, highlighting the fresh and earthy character of the distillery's island house style.
As one of the original peated single malts produced at Lochranza before all peated production moved to Lagg in 2019, this whisky is a rare gem, making it a unique opportunity for enthusiasts. With distinct aromas of salty coastal air, citrus fruits, and herbal menthol, followed by flavors of caramel, banana chips, and torf rauch, the whisky is robust yet approachable. Its subtly salty and relatively long finish carries tones of vanilla, rauch, and torf, making it a highly sought-after release among collectors and whisky aficionados.
Machrie Moor Cask Strength is unique due to its high ABV of 56.2%, its robust peat smoke character, and its origin from the Isle of Arran. It is also one of the original peated single malts produced at Lochranza before peated production moved to Lagg Distillery in 2019.
No, Machrie Moor Cask Strength is not chill-filtered. This helps to maintain its full flavor profile and natural character.
