Tasting Notes
Flavour Layers
Nose Fruity and inviting, with aromas of red berries, plum, citrus peel, vanilla, and honey, underpinned by soft oak.

Finish Long and warming, with lingering red fruits, honeyed malt, and subtle oak tannins.
Arran Port Cask Finish is a richly flavoured Island single malt Scotch whisky that undergoes double maturation. After initial ageing in oak casks, the whisky is finished in hand-selected Port wine casks from Portugal, adding depth, sweetness, and vibrant fruit character. This release perfectly balances Arran’s fresh, orchard-fruit style with the richness of fortified wine influence.
