Arran Machrie Moor Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml 56.2%

Unleash the Peated Spirit of Arran: Machrie Moor Cask Strength

Lochranza Distillery captures the wild, untamed beauty of the Isle of Arran in every drop of the Machrie Moor Cask Strength. Named after the mystical, windswept peat bog on the island's west coast, this single malt whisky is a tribute to the ancient legends of the giant warrior Fingal and his loyal canine companion, Bran. Distilled with pure island water and heavily peated malted barley to 20ppm, this expression represents a bolder, intensely smoky side of Arran's traditionally fruity character.

Bottled at a powerful 56.2% ABV without chill-filtration or added coloring, this Cask Strength edition delivers the ultimate unadulterated sensory experience. It is the perfect choice for seasoned whisky enthusiasts seeking a dramatic dram that beautifully balances rugged peat smoke with Arran's signature vibrant orchard fruit and sweet vanilla undertones. Whether celebrating a grand milestone or unwinding on a cold evening, this whisky offers an unforgettable journey through Scotland’s rugged coastal landscapes.
