Tasting Notes

NOSE: The rich honeyed character is immediate on the nose, luxuriously decadent. The fresh coastal character is also evident. Apples, vanilla and a touch of spice are also subtly present with a hint of toasted oak. PALATE: It coats the tongue and the notes of apple and vanilla are in abundance. No hint of dryness on the palate, it grows in sweet intensity and provides a rounded mouthfeel. The addition of water opens up the complexity beautifully and reveals a lighter sweetness of candied lemon. FINISH: Long, luxurious and yet delightfully fresh. The notes of apple and citrus give a lightness of character whilst the body remains solidly complex and robust. A typical Arran with an added layer of sweetness.

The Distillery

Arran
Commissioned by the Isle of Arran Distillers in 1995, Arran Distillery is nestled in breathtaking scenery just south of Lochranza, at the northern tip of the Isle of Arran. Equipped with four stills, dunnage warehouses, and a visitor centre offering distillery tours, Arran caters to whisky enthusiasts looking to immerse themselves in Scottish whisky heritage. With a distillery café on-site, guests can savour local fare while exploring both unpeated and peated malt spirits matured in sherry, bourbon, port, and wine casks—resulting in a dynamic, ever-expanding whisky portfolio. Signature releases include the popular Arran Machrie Moor, The Illicit Stills, and an Arran blended Scotch, each reflecting Arran’s commitment to quality, innovation, and island-inspired tradition.
