After initially being a limited edition bottling, the Machie Moor Peated has finally been added to Arran’s permanent range. Named after one of the island’s peat bogs, this single malt is full of smoke and grassy notes, complemented by vanilla, citrus and pineapple. Produced at the Lochranza Distillery, this is the first peated whisky to come from the Isle of Arran and one that perfectly captures the ruggedness of the area.

Slightly pale, but with a pronounced peatiness, almost like an Islay malt. Nice enough.
My whisky journey to date has revolved a lot around speysides and sherries. I felt it was time I pushed my boundaries on the peated side, and so started with a Caol Ila 12, which is reasonably smooth, but certainly not lacking in phenols, balancing those with a little too much sweetness for my liking.
So next up, being a fan of the Arran 10 y.o. single malt, I thought I’d give the Machrie Moor a go, and am very pleased with it. The phenols are definitely in there, but with less of the Iodine hit than you’d typically expect of an Islay malt, from out further west. 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.
I would buy again, but because I’m continuing to explore I think I’ll try the cask strength next time.
Very subtle dram. Smells, very faintly, like ice cream.
Not a sweet dram, savoury tastes of sea salt and vanilla. Strong, but not burny, spirit.
