Description
The Peated Arran. Lightly peated at 20ppm, this mythical malt has proved a popular addition to the Arran range. This is the 5th Edition of Machrie Moor, released autumn 2014. 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 the landscape. Unleash the legend that is Machrie Moor.
Limited release of 12,000 bottles.
