A limited release of just 4,024 bottles, this island malt is a bold return to Arran’s earliest sherry-led style. Distilled from barley peated to 20 PPM and matured for 15 years in hand-selected Oloroso sherry butts from Jerez, it’s bottled at a natural 54.4% ABV, with no chill-filtration or added colour.On the nose, expect citrus fruits, brown sugar, and dry bonfire smoke. The palate is smooth and rich, with waves of oak, sweet citrus, and a touch of spice. The finish is long and complex, where initial sweetness gives way to dry smoke and red fruits when a drop of water is added.This is Arran at its most layered and expressive.A rare batch that balances sherry depth, peated character, and island freshness in one unforgettable dram. Arran Single Malt starts its life as Scottish rainwater at Loch Na Davie in the hills high above the distillery. The clear water cascades down the Easan Biorach burn through six waterfalls, each one purifying the water further. Our barley arrives from maltsters on the mainland as whole grains. The grains are then milled by us in Lochranza. Over the course of many years in our warehouses on Arran, the spirit inherits colour and flavour from the wood. The quality of the casks that we work with is of the utmost importance. We never add caramel or strip flavour out of our whiskies using chill filtration. The purity of our water means that we can create a clean, sweet dram which is entirely natural and unadulterated. 700mL | 54.4%ABV
