Arran Machrie Moor Cask Strength
Review by Arran
- Colour
Pale Gold
- Nose
A muscular nose with wood smoke, unmistakeable peat and fresh pineapple. Behind the growl there are more delicate notes of pear and lime.
- Palate
A robust dram with the typical orchard fruits of Arran coming to the fore over a layer of toasted brioche and red berries.
- Finish
Long lasting, creamy vanilla and coconut notes from the Bourbon cask. A memorable dram with character andcomplexity.
- Note
-
On the west coast of the Isle of Arran lies a windswept and mystical peat
bog called Machrie Moor. Bronze Age stone circles and standing stones
are strewn across its barren, undulating terrain. One of the stone circles
is known as Fingals Cauldron Seat, where sits a stone with a carved hole.
The legendary warrior giant Fingal is said to have tethered his favourite
dog Bran to this stone. This cask strength, peated expression of the Arran
Single Malt perfectly captures the rugged beauty and lore of the landscape.
Unleash the legend that is Machrie Moor.
