The limited edition batches of Arran's peated Machrie Moor single malt have proved very popular indeed. So popular, in fact, that the distillery on the eponymous island has made the decision to add it to its permanent range! Ideal!
The name for this expression comes from a mysterious peat bog on the western side of the island. Not only will you find peat at Machrie Moor, but stone circles too - one of which was apparently used by a giant to tether its dog to. Hence the dog on the label (its name is Bran).
Peppery malt with a hint of baked earth sneaking in there. Balanced by orchard fruit and eucalyptus.
A burst of lychee juice as it opens, before waves of dry smoke and cut grass appear.
Lingering orange zest and lemongrass.

Yes I can see why some consumers would call this Paint striper.....after drinking something like a red wine But all I can say ...is stop drinking Red wine Yes it's peaty almost like an Islay & it's pretty good
A loverly drop, so good I came back for another bottle! Heavy phenols to the nose; light on the pallette. A little old school toffee crack on the finish.
Nose, pallette and after taste awful. Also ironic the use of a dog logo on the only non dog friendly distillery out of the 11 visited on the Islands.
A tasty tipple I tried on a whim. Good bottle, nice tube, and impressive whisky. Strong iodine and salt, big but subtle smokiness. It's kind of like a refined laphroaig; still got a punch but tempered.
Vile. Maybe it was just my bottle but it tasted of hospital. I literally threw this down the sink after two attempts to get past the overpowering smell and taste of institutional cleaning products.
