Machrie Moor, The Peated Arran Malt
Island Single Malt, 46% ABV
The name for this expression comes from a mysterious peat bog on the western side of the island. Not only will you find peat at Machrie Moor, but stone circles too – one of which was apparently used by a giant to tether its dog to. Hence the dog on the label (its name is Bran).
| NOSE | Peppery malt with a hint of baked earth sneaking in there. Balanced by orchard fruit and eucalyptus. |
| PALATE | A burst of lychee juice as it opens, before waves of dry smoke and cut grass appear. |
| FINISH | Lingering orange zest and lemongrass. |
