Arran Machrie Moor 10 years old Single Island Malt Whisky 46%

Arran's peated side also comes with a fixed age statement — ten years in cask gives Machrie Moor an extra layer of flavour.

The same peaty character as the distillery's classic Machrie Moor, but now with time to round off the edges.

Expert Description

Arran Machrie Moor 10 Year Old is a Single Islands Malt Whisky made from lightly peated malt and bottled at 46%.

The whisky is bottled non-chill filtered and with natural colour after ten years of maturation, giving the peat smoke time to blend more smoothly with Arran's natural fruit sweetness than in the younger, no-age-statement Machrie Moor.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Softer smoke than the younger edition, with a clear underlying fruitiness.

Palate

Round and balanced, where the smoke and Arran's citrus character meet in good harmony.

Finish

Medium length with lingering, mild smoke.
