Arran Distillery, founded in 1995, is the first new distillery on the Isle of Arran for more than 160 years. Once there were 50 distillers on the island, but they disappeared one by one. The new Arran Distillery is relatively small and is not afraid to experiment, for example with finishing in all kinds of casks, or with the use of prehistoric barley or with peated or unpeated malt. In the first few years, its own single malt bottlings were released under the brand The Arran Malt, now as Arran.
You can consider the Arran 10 years old as a standard bottling of the Arran Distillery. Nicely drinkable, light and uncomplicated, this is a single malt whisky for everyday or for an evening with friends. A nice introduction to the brand too.
This Arran bottling is certainly not a standard bottling! The 17-year-old single malt whisky matured in different types of casks: first and second-fill sherry casks and first-fill bourbon casks. It was bottled in a limited edition at 46% ABV.
Also with this Whisky-Doris bottling, we are not only talking about the label, if we call this a special edition. This is in fact a 25 year old Arran single malt whisky. Matured in a bourbon a hogshead and bottled at 51% cask strength in 235 bottles.
For those who want to get acquainted with the single malt whisky from The Isle of Arran Distillery, or with single malt whisky in general, this is a nice 'entry-level bottle'. The whisky matured in American oak casks and is bottled at a friendly strength.
A finish in sherry casks is very normal for whisky, but a finish in fino sherry casks is not very common. This 8-year-old Arran single malt whisky has matured in fino casks for the last nine months. It was bottled in 2007 in limited edition. (50%)
An new edition edition by the Arran distillery of their peated single malt whisky Machrie Moor. This whisky, which is bottled at 46%, is not too heavily peated and therefore remains a pleasantly drinkable dram, with the Arran profile clearly recognizable.
Machrie Moor is the brand under which Arran releases peated malt. And within this brand there are the Cask Strength bottlings in a limited edition. The Machrie Moor's have their own character, different from the peated Islay's for example.
In 2013, the Arran Distillery released a bottling called Millennium Casks. The spirit for this single malt whisky was vatted on December 31, 1999 and January 1, 2000 (35 bourbon and 10 sherry casks). After 13 years this resulted in 7800 bottles at 53.5%.
The Arran Distillery is also doing 'finishing' these days. This bottling, for example, is finished in port casks and that gives the single malt whisky notes of hazelnut, strawberry jam and mandarin oranges. All well in balance with the Arran profile. 50%
'Quarter Cask' the name says it all: This Arran single malt whisky is aged in small casks. The smaller the cask, the greater the wood influence, the faster the maturation appears to be. This also applies to this distillery bottling at cask strength (56.2%
A special bottling from the Arran Distillery. The single malt whisky matured in a 250 liter sherry cask and was bottled at 55.8% cask strength. A complex dram with sherry notes such as dark chocolate, figs and cherries. With notes of ginger and spices too
