I’d say that Arran has made a name for itself thanks to its formidable (but presently discontinued) Arran 14 and the much-sought-after Amarone Cask Finish.By using the Service, and by creating an account you represent, warrant and confirm that you are of legal age.

I have developed a bit of a soft spot for Arran over the past few months – they produce consistently good drams, aren’t averse to trying a wide array of cask maturations and finishes, and are one of the few distilleries in the past year to receive (mainly) positive feedback from the demanding whisky community on their rebranding and new bottle design. On the nose it is much less pleasing and less elegant than the 10-year-old Machrie Moor with 46% (there are really very few parallels), but on the palate there is still a surprise or increase. I felt it was time I pushed my boundaries on the peated side, and so started with a Caol Ila 12, which is reasonably smooth, but certainly not lacking in phenols, balancing those with a little too much sweetness for my liking.The holiday’s over; the brief plunge into Arran’s pseudo-reality well and truly in the rearview mirror.

And back to Malt where, as is the lot of the reviewer, I must amputate all sentiment, and judge Machrie Moor against its peers.At Dramface we like to include more than just Scottish perspectives, and everyone benefits from a little variety in their whisky opinions, don’t you think? Back to eating al desko, back to early alarms, back to Work In Progress meetings, back to more bad news about Brexit.

The vanilla aroma I get in both might possibly stem from their maturation in the same bourbon casks.
