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. Never mind what I say, or what Mark says, or what Jason says, or what the people actually paid to do this stuff say. Both malts show the ripe pears I usually also find in other whiskies from this distillery, and both have a floral touch to it I would also associate with the house style of Lochranza distillery. 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.

After much sniffyness and elimination on my part we settled on the cask strength Machrie Moor, which is the peated whisky Arran makes (but will stop making once their new distillery at Lagg gets production underway).To diversify their range and to offer something to the peat-heads, Arran also distils peated malt and sells it under the Machrie Moor name. The vanilla aroma I get in both might possibly stem from their maturation in the same bourbon casks. Despite the fact that I have moaned about this before and about the exact same Israeli importer, I will continue to complain until they do something about it.

The 10 year old edition of Arran encompasses all that is impressive about this distillery and its house style. It's on my list the next time I get to the UK, please G-d soon when the war is over and all my sons come home safe and sound, Be'ezrat Hashem.

I won’t get into production and marketing details here, as I am more interested in exploring the differences in smell and taste between the two drams.One of the joys, for me, of meeting other whisky fans is finding out which distilleries they have a more personal connection to, for reasons often beyond flavour.

Our second distillery opened in the south of the island last year at Lagg, where we make a very unique style of peated single malt.Regardless of whether the Service offers the functionality to contribute, you are solely responsible and liable for any content and information that you create, upload, post, publish, link to, duplicate, transmit, record, display or otherwise make available on the Service or to other Members, such as chat messages, text messages, videos, audio, audio recordings, music, pictures, photographs, text and any other information or materials, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted (“Contributions”). Smoke curls in and out; the effect is of charred wood onto which barbecued meat has dripped its fat. Perhaps it’s the boat trip; always seems a very definite departure from the norm (or at least my norm). Nose: Rich sweet spiced notes from a well matured Arran Single Malt, backed with the strength of peat smoke and ripe citrus fruits.
