Arran 21 Year Old - Explorers Series Volume 2 - Lochranza Castle
Arran
Tasting Notes
This 21-year-old whisky from the Isle of Arran is a true gem, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship of the distillery. The Explorers Series Volume 2 takes you on a journey through flavors reminiscent of old bookcases, root ginger, almond, and apple cake, with hints of sherried fruits and caramelized almonds in the nose. On the palate, it unveils a gentle toasted meringue sweetness, complemented by stewed apples, cocoa, allspice, and vanilla. The finish lingers with the delightful notes of dried apricot, toasted almonds, and dark chocolate shavings. Matured in sherry hogsheads and finished in Amontillado sherry casks, this limited edition release of 9,000 bottles is a complex and nutty dram bottled at 47.2% ABV. Adorned with the iconic Lochranza Castle and impressive stags on the label, this whisky is a true representation of Arran's rich heritage and exceptional craftsmanship.
