To mark its 15th Anniversary the Isle of Arran Distillery has released a commemorative bottling - a 1999 vintage which has been finished for two years in Amontillado Sherry casks. This has given the Arran Malt a rich nutty character with a complex sweet-spicy finish.
Arran’s Master Distiller, James MacTaggart said: “The quality of these casks from the house of Valdespino is second to none and we are delighted with the end result. Bottled at natural cask strength of 54.6%abv and limited to 5,640 bottles worldwide, demand for this release is sure to outstrip supply.”
The packaging makes a feature of the wings of a golden-eagle, the symbol of the Arran Distillery.
