Description
Arran 18 year old
The Arran 18-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a masterfully crafted expression that exemplifies the depth and complexity of Arran's distilling expertise. This whisky harmoniously balances rich flavors, offering a delightful blend of caramelized citrus and tropical fruit notes, all layered over a foundation of toasted oak. The result is an intense and well-rounded dram, brimming with charm and character.
Matured exclusively in carefully selected Sherry casks, this premium whisky represents the pinnacle of Arran's aging process.
Arran Distillery
Arran distillery is one of Scotland's newest. It was built in 1995 and it was the first distillery to be built in the island in over a century. The decision to build the distillery in the island's north was taken as there was a reliable water source and lots of potential for tourism.
The distillery started selling casks of its whisky to private investors to raise some cash. In 1998 the first official bottling was released. Eventually a peated expression was also released. In 2017 production capacity was increased and the visitor centre was upgraded.
The style of the spirit is delicate, cereal driven with citrus flavours. Wood management is rigorous.
