Product Information

You acknowledge, understand and agree that we are not obligated to review, check or monitor any Contributions, but we may do so. This peated expression of the Arran Single Malt perfectly captures the rugged beauty and lore of the landscape. In case of the Machrie Moor 10, the peat seems to have resulted in a wilder spirit that has not yet been tamed by its 10-year maturation. Further, you shall not circumvent, remove, alter, deactivate, degrade or thwart any of the content protections, decompile, reverse engineer or disassemble the Service and any software related to or used in or by the Service. This Single Malt produced at Lochranza Distillery is some of the original, very first peated Single Malt that we produced on the island.

Bottled as somewhat of a counterpoint to the bourbon cask matured Barrel Reserve the Bodega Sherry Cask really highlights the excellent versatility of the spirit coming off the stills at Arran.We may, but are not under any obligation, to release new functionalities and tools or other features for the Service every now and then. The shortbread and the chamomile tea of the Arran 10 have been supplanted by the smoke and ashes, and I’m not entirely sure what to make of the Machrie Moor’s rubbery note.

Despite the fact that I have moaned about this before and about the exact same Israeli importer, I will continue to complain until they do something about it. The holiday’s over; the brief plunge into Arran’s pseudo-reality well and truly in the rearview mirror.The Spirits Embassy has been brought to you by award winning online retailer Single Malts Direct, who have over 15 years experience in carefully selecting the rarest and finest whiskies from every corner of the world.

As production processes become ever more controlled and automated, there’s not much room left for distinction or surprises. As Lagg is going to bottle their whiskies under the ‘Lagg’ name, it’s likely Machrie Moor will be exiting the scene in the near future. Machrie Moor 10 years old is bottled in very small quantities every year and is f ully matured in 1st fill Bourbon Casks for ten years and bottled at 46%, without chill filtration or added colouring. Agree with some of the other comments around the subtlety and savoury notes – I also get a biscuity undertone in the flavour that I like. Further, we reserve the right to modify, change, discontinue the Service, add or remove features, update the Service, change its appearance, temporarily and permanently, at any time, in whole or any part thereof.

Smoke curls in and out; the effect is of charred wood onto which barbecued meat has dripped its fat.

I wouldn’t spend hours dissecting the flavours and aromas, but I’d certainly pour it for friends who are not into whisky to familiarise them with the spirit. Whether that’s for the better or not depends on personal tastes and predilections – ‘Über Geschmack lässt sich nicht streiten. If we decide not to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms, such decision shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Nevertheless, we can try to taste the difference and figure out what difference peat makes in our nostrils and on our palates.

Many other locations were considered at the time, but the proximity to Loch na Davie provided us with a rather special source of fresh water for distilling. The Arran 10 is soft and pleasant on the nose which comes straight from a bowl of fruit salad made from green apples and pears and sweetened with honey blossom. As far as colour is concerned, they both have the same identical dirty chardonnay white wine straw colour. The Lagg distillery was just opened and will mainly produce peated malt while Lochranza distillery will focus on its unpeated output.
