Machrie Moor 10 Year Old Peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky (Lochranza Distillery)

Unleash the Legend of Arran

Capture the rugged beauty of the Isle of Arran with Machrie Moor 10 Year Old. Named after the mystical, windswept peat bog on the island's west coast—home to ancient Bronze Age stone circles and the fabled Fingal’s Cauldron Seat—this expression is the definitive Peated Single Malt from the Lochranza Distillery. It is a masterful fusion of classic island fruitiness and an evocative puff of smoke.

A Decade of Island Maturation

While most Arran whiskies are unpeated, Machrie Moor represents the distillery’s darker, more untamed side. This 10-year-old release is aged exclusively in first-fill bourbon casks, which impart a rich vanilla sweetness that perfectly counters the earthy peat.

• Peating Level: Balanced at 20ppm for a "dry, non-confrontational" smoke.
• Craft Presentation: Bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered, and with no added coloring to preserve its natural gold hue and oily texture.
• Small Batch Exclusivity: Produced in limited quantities annually at the Lochranza site.

Tasting Notes: Smoke Meets Fruit

• Nose: Fresh citrus and baked apples mingled with earthy peat smoke, vanilla, and a hint of peppery oak.
• Palate: A "chameleon" in the glass—initially sweet with notes of honey, charred pineapple, and Demerara sugar, followed by a warming, spicy surge of ginger and drying smoke.
• Finish: Long-lasting and intense, featuring orange peel, flamed heather honey, and a signature brine and pepper tang.

Why Choose Machrie Moor 10?

It is the perfect "bridge" for those who find Islay Whiskies too medicinal but want more depth than a standard Highland Malt. With its blend of mythology and modern craft, Machrie Moor 10 is a must-have for collectors and a sophisticated choice for fans of Peated Scotch.
