Arran Single Malt Scotch Whisky 18 Years Old (700Ml)

Description

Arran Single Malt Scotch Whisky 18 Years Old comes from the Isle of Arran, off Scotland's west coast. It is made at the Lochranza distillery, at the north end of the island. The 18 joined the core range in 2015, for the distillery's 21st birthday.

It matures for 18 years in a selection of aged sherry casks. Those casks bring richness and sweetness. It is bottled at 46% ABV, without chill-filtration or added caramel colour.

The nose opens with orchard fruits, a little syrup and toasted oak. On the palate you find caramelised orange and dark chocolate. Brown sugar, vanilla and baked peaches follow. The finish is long and intense, as the oak deepens the classic Arran fruit.

Judges have praised it, too. It won Gold at the Scottish Field Whisky Challenge in 2016. Whisky Advocate scored it 93 points in 2021.

Pour it neat first. Then add a few drops of water and watch the aroma open up. It suits slow sipping on special nights, and it makes a fine gift for a Scotch lover.
