Arran “Machrie Moor”
Arran “Machrie Moor” Single Malt Scotch - $124.99
On the rugged, windy west coast of the Isle of Arran lies the ancient and mystical peat bog called Machrie Moor. Bronze Age stone circles are strewn across its barren terrain that were once associated with the ceremonial activities of that age. Amidst lies a stone circle, Fingal’s Cauldron and there sits a lone stone with a carved hole. Folklore honours the warrior giant Fingal who tethered his dog Bran to this very stone.
This peated expression of the Arran Single Malt is bottled at 46% abv with no added colouring or chill filtration. Let this whisky transport you back to the time of the druids with its smoldering smoky sorcery drooled with candied citrus peel and vanilla. Its earthy edge howls of the landscape from whence it came.
Unleash the legend that is Machrie Moor!
Deadhead Chocolate Rum

The Jivaro tribes of the Amazon believed the shrinking of human heads would harness the spirit of their enemy.
