Description

Arran Machrie Moor 8th Edition is the 2017 Autumn release of Arran's peated series.

Since 2004, Arran have produced a batch of peated malt whisky at the same time every year. It was first released in limited edition batches under the brand name Machrie Moor which is the name of the peat moor on the west coast of Arran. The barley is malted to a level of 20 ppm (phenol parts per million) to ensure that the Arran character is not lost amidst a sea of peat-smoke. Bottled at 46% abv without chill filtration, the end result is a wonderful balanced dram with sweet-fruit at the front of the palate followed by lingering peat on the finish. Delicious and warming, like the embers of a bonfire.

Arran single malt scotch whisky is produced at one of two distilleries. The first being in Lochranza using the freshest water from Loch na Davie and the second in the south of the Island where unique peated single malts are created.

Finish: The peat reek takes centre stage leaving a rich, warming glow like the burning embers of a bonfire. Master Distiller James MacTaggart has skill-fully combined all of the elements at work to create a harmonious .
