Arran Machrie Moor 8th Edition (2017 Release)

Nose: Initially musty, tobacco, cigarette smoke, followed by banana and tropical fruit. As you continue tasting, more banana becomes evident upfront. Taste: Light vanilla, banana, and floral notes mixed with peaty tobacco smoke. Smooth and buttery. Amazingly well-balanced. Finish: medium-long, light peat, ashy Finished the bottle at the time of review but it was consistently one of my favorites. Excellent for warm weather sipping.

Exactly what you anticipate from this dram - a peated Arran malt that's above average. A pale-colored, strong spirit.

Heating, smoky, cherry syrup for coughs, timber, heat, peppery, a burning conclusion

Silky, with a gentle smoke from oak and a hint of tobacco.
