Sleeping Warrior is a limited edition expression of Aran single malt matured in a combination of ex-sherry casks, bourbon and red wine casks.

The stunning profile of the summits and ridges on the north-end of the Isle of Arran is referred to as the Sleeping Warrior due to its resemblance to a resting human figure. A donation from every bottle sold of the Sleeping Warrior will be made to the National Trust for Scotland to help maintain the footpaths on Goatfell, Arran’s highest peak

Tasting Notes

Nose: Dark and brooding in colour, the Sleeping Warrior is rich and robust on the nose with aromas of liquorice, leather and boiled sweets.

Palate: Dark cherries and stewed fruits dominate the palate whilst a softer sweeter side emerges with water leading to lemon sherbet and toffee-apples.

Finish: With an enduring, spicy and complex conclusion this is indeed a true mountain of a malt.
