Arran Machrie Moor is a peated single malt whisky produced by the Arran distillery, which is located on the Isle of Arran off the west coast of Scotland. The whisky is named after the nearby Machrie Moor, which is home to ancient stone circles and is a popular spot for walking and birdwatching. The whisky is made using Scottish barley that has been malted and peated to around 20 parts per million (ppm) phenols. It is then distilled in copper pot stills before being aged in a combination of first-fill bourbon barrels and sherry hogsheads. The resulting whisky is bottled at 46% ABV, without any chill-filtration or artificial coloring. Machrie Moor is known for its smoky and peaty character, which is balanced by sweet and fruity notes from the sherry casks. The nose is characterized by aromas of peat smoke, honey, vanilla, and citrus, while the palate is dominated by smoky flavors, along with hints of caramel, dried fruit, and spice. Arran Machrie Moor has won several awards, including a gold medal at the International Wine & Spirit Competition and a silver medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. It is a popular choice among peated whisky lovers, and is often compared favorably to Islay whiskies.

Scottish rainfall at Loch Na Davie in the hills above the distillery is the source of Arran Single Malt. Six waterfalls along the Easan Biorach burn cleanse the water as it flows through it as it cascades down the mountain. Whole grains of our barley are sent to us from mainland maltsters. We grind the grains at Lochranza after that. The spirit absorbs color and flavor from the wood over many years in our warehouses on Arran. It is crucial that the casks we use be of the highest caliber. We never add caramel or use cold filtering to remove flavor from our whiskies. Our water is so pure that we can produce a clear, delicious dram that is pure and unadulterated. Nearly 30 years ago, we started distilling at our first distillery in lovely Lochranza. The closeness to Loch na Davie gave us access to a pretty unique supply of fresh water for distillation although many other places were at the time taken into consideration. We were certain that this would benefit us going forward. In 2019, we launched our second distillery in Lagg in the south of the island, where we produce a very distinctive peated single malt. In 1995, the north end of the island saw the establishment of the Lochranza distillery. At Lagg in the south end, we now have a sister distillery for Scottish whiskey.
