About this deal

Drinking distilled spirits, beer, coolers, wine and other alcoholic beverages may increase cancer risk, and, during pregnancy, can cause birth defects. I decided to decant the remainder into a smaller bottle, freeing up the age stated bottle to accept the contents of ye olde 18.

This Island single malt has been exclusively matured in the finest sherry butts for 21 years, before being bottled up at a very reasonable 46% ABV. The lingering and morish tingle will tantalise you into a flight as you plough through the bottle at an alarming rate. This light and aromatic whisky is considered to be an excellent introduction to the wonderful world of single malt scotch whisky.This well aged single malt from Arran makes up part of the distillerys core range, bottled at a hearty 21 years old. In Bond storage is facilitated at Octavian and London City Bond – Dinton, both in Wiltshire and both ex MOD storage depots. They have subtly textured, recyclable materials instead…with exception to the foam, but how else do you secure hold a fragile bottle inside this efficiently sized box? Compared to the darker, sherry heavy 18 the longer matured spirit already looks lighter and more elegant. Released in 2013 at 13 years old, the whisky was filled at natural cask strength without chill-filtration.

The Arran Distillery is a relative newcomer and, having been founded in 1994, is young enough to be considered a newbie but old enough to have produced some mature whisky.

I marked the end of a quite turbulent 2021 with the purchase of Arran’s 21 year old; a significant age stated whisky for a significant year.Information and statements about products are not intended to be used to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition.

You’d think there’d be nuances that separate them - little blips here and there of this or that - but frankly there is little to separate them. With old-style 18 years of age contents now fully dripped into the new-style bottle, I squeaked the cork on and placed it gently beside the 21, both now illuminated uniformly thanks to my uplit warm white 3000k supershelves.

Finish: Creamy praline, pineapple on the griddle with a dusting of caramelised icing sugar and ginger spice.

This remarkable Arran was matured in a single refill hogshead, where for 24 years it reacted with the cask to mature into the refined whisky we're presented with today.The chalky sweetie theme continues but moves more towards those annoyingly hard to read Love Hearts; my daughter’s favourite thing at present - “what does this one say Daddy?

For me, it signalled my expansion into Arran’s ecosystem, with the Sherry Bodega next; given my journey into whiskyland through the gates of sherry casks, this was familiar ground, and very much enjoyable; sort of a lighter expression of the tongue-blaster I’d been enduring in Aberlour’s A’Bunadh. All those single casks – some really good, most average – made it so that I didn’t know which one to spend my money on. This well-aged single malt from Arran makes up part of the distillery's core range, bottled at a hearty 21 years old. Overall it's very good, but I'd go for the Glenrothes, unless I was on a tighter budget and is get the amazing Glenallachie 15.The finish is decently long and tapers off into a baking spice trail, reminiscent of motherly baking of a Sunday. This is truly the jewel in Arran Single Malt's crown and is 100% matured in a mix of some of the oldest Sherry Butts from the distillery.

I’ve probably built it up in my mind, but after such a high relatively early on in my journey with Arran, it’s becoming increasingly more difficult to find one that comes close. Arran distillery is a whisky distillery in Lochranza, Scotland, the only distillery on the Isle of Arran.
