After a 160-year hiatus, 1995 saw Lochranza Distillery open and the Isle of Arran returned to whisky production. The hope was that they could capture the island’s unique whisky character…once referred to as “Arran Water”. Despite the fact this is an island scotch, Arran Malt is not known for its peat. The flavor profile is cereal with a distinct citrus note, thought to come from the use of small stills that are run very slowly. A relatively new distillery in terms of Scotch, Arran is one of the few independent distilleries remaining.
Tasting Notes
From the distillery: “Nose: Delicate apples and pears.
Palate: Beautifully balanced citrus fruit and light vanilla sweetness with a burst of apple and light marine notes.
Finish: Sweet, spice, charred oak, citrus and vanilla.”
Method
Meant to emphasize the light, bright, fruit driven characteristics that are distinctly Arran; this single malt is aged in 100% ex-bourbon barrels. Non chill filtered and bottled at 43% this single malt is great for any occasion as an easy sipper.
