The Arran Malt Aged 10 Years Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 700ml

Product Information

Machrie Moor er en medium røget whisky (på 20 ppm) der indeholder meget mere end blot tjære og bolværk. En lækker Single Malt med en ”muskuløs næse” med røg, træ og en umiskendelige dejlig aroma af tørv og frisk ananas. Bag det grove førstehåndsindtryk finder man mere sarte noter af pære og Arrans altid tilstedeværende citrus-tone. Med en lille dråbe vand udvikler smagens sig med masser af frugttoner bl.a. i retning af hindbærsyltetøj. Den dejlige konstante rygrad af tørv og røg er omdrejningspunktet i denne robuste dram. Eftersmagen er dvælende med kraftige noter fra lagringen på Bourbonfade. Det giver noter af vanilje og de klassiske maritime Arran toner saw the release of a 15th anniversary bottling, released on the distillery open day on 3 July. Autumn 2010 also saw the release of the first official 14 year old to be released by the distillery. The first peated Arran single malt, Machrie Moor, has been available since December 2010.

Now, I know that Arran has been covered on Malt in the past, but I felt that the story of the distillery and the history of the island lends itself perfectly to the unique character of the liquid in the Arran Core range… specifically, the Arran 10 year old. Jason did touch on the Arran rebranding here, but I feel a special mention of the branding change needs highlighting.

However, Harold Currie (former director of Chivas) founded Arran distillers, with the distillery opening in 1995 in Locranza. Locranza is a village on Arran, an oval-shaped island on the west coast of Scotland, located west of Glasgow, just east of Mull of Kintyre. Arran is a unique island steeped in a history of illicit distilling, with around 50 distilleries, with the last legally founded distillery (Lagg) closing in 1837. There used to be about fifty distilleries on the island, but most of them were "moonlight" or illegal distilleries. [3] The most recent legally founded distillery on Arran, called ''Lagg'' closed in 1837. [2]

Arran distelleriet er grundlagt i 1995 og er beliggende i Lochranza i Skotland påøen Isle of Arran. Øen har en lang historie for whiskyproduktion, men Arran destilleriet er forholdsvist ungt i whisky-regi. Selv om Arran destilleriet først er stiftet i 1995, har de vundet flere internationale priser for flere af deres fremragende whiskyer.

In 2017 an expansion of the distillery was completed with the installation of an additional wash and spirit still, more than doubling Arran’s capacity to 1.2m litres per year. To accommodate the growing number of visitors to the distillery, Arran added a second tasting room to its visitor centre, and built an adjacent facility with meeting room, tasting bar and blending room named Rowan House. The distillery is situated to the East of the village of Lochranza at the North of the island and takes its water from the Loch na Davie. Founded in 1993, by Chivas Brothers’ retiring managing director, Harold Currie, the distillery is the only one on the Isle of Arran since the most recent legally run distillery, ‘Lagg’, was closed in 1837. Mr Currie stylized the buildings with the intention of giving them a much more traditional, classic appearance. During the early stages of building, work was briefly interrupted when a pair of Golden Eagles, nesting in the crags above the distillery, tended to their young. The eagles can be seen, to this day, from the courtyard at the distillery. In 1994 Arran Distillers was founded by Harold Currie, former director of Chivas and a D-Day veteran, with the intention of building a distillery on Arran. [2] During the construction of the distillery, a pair of golden eagles built their nest on a cliff near the distillery; since golden eagles are a protected species, construction of the distillery was temporarily halted. The distillery, funded by private investors and the sale of bonds, opened in 1995. Looking closer at the label, under the sub-heading of “Single Malt Scotch Whisky,” we can ever so slightly see and feel braille! I haven’t come across such a thing on a whisky label before but think it’s significant and incredible. Arran is not only an affordable and accessible malt to the residents of the UK, but it’s further reached out in its accessibility to those who are visually impaired. The braille says “Arran Single Malt.” The state of the art visitor centre, opened in 1997 by HM the Queen, offers daily tastings,a shop and CASKS Cafe which servesan interesting and appetising menu based on the best of local produce available. Due to current government regulations, all tastings and CASKS Cafe bookings must be pre-aranged in advance.Arran nyder godt af den friske hav- og bjergluft, som sammen med Golfstrømmen gør betingelserne for hurtig modning af single malt whiskyer ideelle. Derfor har Arran også ry for at producere whisky af højeste kvalitet. Som destilleriet selv skriver på sin hjemmeside: "Vi laver whisky på den gammeldags måde. Det er ikke den nemmeste eller den billigste metode, men det er den bedste". Although the Arran distilleryis relatively new (production started in 1995), the island in the Firth of Clyde has a long history of whisky-making. A fertile place, the farmers in the south of the island had plenty of raw materials to work with, and when home distillation and small stills were effectively banned in the late 18th century, they simply went underground. When it comes to accommodation in Scotland, there's a fantastic choice of amazing stays from luxury hotels to glamping getaways. Arran has soaring hills and rugged coasts, rich farmland and dense forests, all concentrated into a compact parcel floating in the Firth of Clyde between the Ayrshire coast and the Kintyre peninsula. It’s known as ‘Scotland in miniature’, as it shares some of the characteristics of the Highlands and Lowlands, the mainland and the Western Isles. En Arran whisky starter sit liv som regnvand over Loch na Davie i de nærliggende bakker ved destilleriet. Herfra løber vandet ned gennem Easan Biorach og seks forskellige vandfald, som hver især er med til at rense vandet yderligere. Det skulle eftersigende være det reneste vand i Skotland, og renheden af vandet er med til, at Arran destilleriet kan skabe en helt igennem naturlig sød dram.

Picturesque Lochranza, at the north of the Isle of Arran, has been the location of the island’s first legal distillery for over 150 years. Until the 19th century, Arran was renowned for its Malt Whisky, often made illicitly, and known locally as "Arran Water". Production began on the 17th August 1995. A year later and a one year old was released, of course not technically a whisky, it was released as ‘Arran 1 Year Old Spirit’, and showed great promise for a spirit still in its proverbial adolescence. The core expressions include a ten year old, officially released in 2006, and a cask-strength, the ominously named ‘100 Proof’. Yearly single cask special editions are released, finished in either sherry or bourbon butts. Some interesting finishes have also been released, including a Bordeaux, a port and a Calvados. Denne lækre ø-whisky er opkaldt efter en mystisk og forblæst tørvmose, som ligger på vestkysten af øen Arran. Blandt stensætningerne ved mosen, der er dateret helt tilbage fra Bronzealderen, findes en sten med et udhugget hul. Ifølge legenden skulle den legendariske kriger Fingal have bundet hans foretrukne hund Bran til denne sten.In the mouth: Pear drops on initial sip. Glorious mouthfeel and grip coming from the ABV. Dense vanilla and honey. The middle of the sip contains a biscuity and roasted malt note. There are sliced green apples and to me, a swell of orange rind as it rounds off. The finish is quite long. That citrus blast remains, with those malty elements and a hint of floral too. Some spice on the finish, I’d say cinnamon and a little ginger; more specifically: ginger nut biscuits. Conclusions: saw the release of a 15th Anniversary bottling on the occasion of the distillery open day on 3 July. Autumn 2010 also saw the release of the first official 14-year-old to be released by the distillery. The first peated Arran single malt (called Machrie Moor) has been available since 8 December 2010. After all, demand for smuggled whisky was on the rise and Arran had excellent links to Glasgow. There is some evidence that molasses was also distilled here. When the law changed, a legal distillery ran at Lagg from 1825, but it closed in 1837 and Arran’s distilling heritage was seemingly lost forever. Bottling started with a limited edition three-year-old in 1998 and the range has continued to expand,although today there are fewer ‘finished’ variants than in the past. A peated expression, ‘Machrie Moor’, has also been introduced.
