Arran Sauternes Cask Finish is a luxurious Island single malt Scotch whisky that undergoes double maturation. After its initial ageing in oak casks, the whisky is finished in hand-selected Sauternes wine casks from the Bordeaux region of France. The result is a beautifully sweet and complex single malt, combining Arran’s orchard fruit freshness with the honeyed richness of French dessert wine.
