Whisky Focus - Arran Machrie Moor Second Edition

Arran Machrie Moor Second Edition


6th October 2011

The classic Arran with a peaty punch is back!

The Second Edition of Machrie Moor the Peated Arran Malt is finally here. This is a fantastic expression of Arran with an interesting peaty twist.

On the west coast of the Isle of Arran lies a windswept and mystical peat bog called Machrie Moor. Bronze Age stone circles and standing stones are strewn across its barren, undulating terrain. One of the stone circles is known as Fingal's Cauldron Seat, where sits a stone with a carved hole. The legendary warrior giant Fingal is said to have tethered his favourite dog Bran to this stone. This peated expression of the Arran Single Malt perfectly captures the rugged beauty and lore of this landscape. Unleash the legend that is Machrie Moor.

This second edition is a limited release of 12,000 bottles worldwide and going by the speed the first edition sold out at you had better grab a bottle of the newly released second edition quickly before it disappears.
