About this deal

The vanilla aroma I get in both might possibly stem from their maturation in the same bourbon casks. The limited edition batches of Arran's peated Machrie Moor single malt have proved very popular indeed.

The Machrie Moor 10 has a prominent note of a smouldering bonfire and there’s a taste of mango to it that I also get in other peated whiskies. Anyhow, these thoughts have been bouncing about my brain because a few weeks ago I was on Arran, doing my level best to pretend that the technological revolution never took place. It’s where I used to spend family holidays way-back-when; 1991-dated photos show the infant Wellsy swamped in a parrot towel (which I still have somewhere) and my cousin Justin and I thought it was high time we popped back to see what had changed in our 10-year-or-so absence. Many other locations were considered at the time, but the proximity to Loch na Davie provided us with a rather special source of fresh water for distilling.

The fruits assume control on the palate, with juicy, tropical pineapple, green apples, pears and lemon candy, wrapped in a waft of dried grass and a lick of meaty smoke.

Machrie Moor perfectly captures the rugged beauty and lore of the landscape and is named after a peat bog on the west coast of the island where the legendary giant warrior Fingal is said to have tethered his favourite pet dog to a standing stone. Not that such a thing exists of course, and even if it did, the fact that an island 200 miles from Dufftown made the same sort of thing ought to put the final nail in whisky’s regional flavour coffin.This cask strength peated expression of the Arran Single Malt displays the freshness of their house style, with an added touch of smoke and earthiness.

Bottled as somewhat of a counterpoint to the bourbon cask matured Barrel Reserve the Bodega Sherry Cask really highlights the excellent versatility of the spirit coming off the stills at Arran. In its relatively short life, the distillery has built and maintained a good reputation among whisky drinkers.
