Arran
Tasting Notes
This captivating Scotch whisky from the renowned Arran distillery pays homage to the island's clandestine distilling past, capturing the essence of illicit stills that once dotted the rugged landscape. The aroma tantalizes with a medley of dried fruits, floral notes, and a tantalizing hint of smoked embers, subtly hinting at the coastal influence. On the palate, a warmth of peat unfurls, accompanied by robust Christmas spices and a delightful interplay of Sherried plums and crisp apple. The finish lingers, enveloping the senses with a lingering smokiness that echoes the whisky's bold character. Crafted from a meticulous blend of unpeated and heavily peated malts, bourbon barrel-aged and Port pipe-matured whiskies, this limited edition of 8,700 bottles encapsulates the spirit of Arran's audacious past in every sip.
