The Isle of Arran distillery started very early with cask finishes.
In recent years, the permanent range has been built around the Amarone Cask Finish, Port Cask Finish, Sherry Cask Finish and Sauternes Cask Finish expressions, which are now presented in the sleek, premium and ultra-modern bottles that characterise Arran, more dynamic than ever.
This single malt has been matured in Amarone casks donated by an artisanal producer of this renowned Italian red wine (Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG).
The Master Blender, James MacTaggart, carefully monitored this second maturation to ensure the balance between the contribution of the amarone casks and the sweet, fruity character that is typical of Arran.
Bottled at 50% to maximise the concentration of aroma and flavour, unchill-filtered and without colouring, this rich, fruity single malt is highly original, with its luscious cherry, cranberry and dark chocolate notes.
Nose: fine, firm. Extremely elegant, the first nose is intensely fruity (wild strawberry, blueberry). It evolves on apple jelly and heady flowers (lavender, lilac). As it progresses, it gains in depth (liquorice, chocolate, zan) then spices make their appearance (pepper, clove).
Palate: delicate, nuanced. Just as airy as the nose, it looks towards the East (rose petal, loukoum). Dried fruits (apricot, date, fig) give it thickness. It continues with black fruits (gooseberry, blackcurrant), eucalyptus and Armenian paper.
Finish: balanced, full of dynamism. It returns to its Scottish origins (malted barley, yeast, beer). Mineral (pencil lead), it continues in a tasty way on gingerbread, coriander and cardamom.
The empty glass highlights the quality of its woodiness (vanilla).

After 150 years of forced abstinence, the inhabitants of the Isle of Arran
welcome the creation of "Isle of Arran Distillery" in 1993, the first since 1837! Officially opened in 1995, it chose to settle in the north of the island near the market town of Lochranza in a small valley called "Glen Eason Biorach" or "valley of the small waterfall".
Arran has a long history in the whiskey world. By the mid-18th century there were nearly fifty distilleries on the island (most of them underground), but they have all since closed. The creation of the new distillery in 1995 therefore renews the tradition in Arran. The brandy produced there received the designation "whiskey" in 1998.
This strategic choice is explained by an idyllic natural environment, (a concentrate of all the landscapes of Scotland) a warm microclimate (near the gulf stream) ideal for the rapid maturation of single malts and finally by the contribution of water from Loch Na Davie which descends from the surrounding mountains, purified by granite and softened by peat.
Proud of its independence, because it was founded thanks to the contribution of passionate subscribers and paid in kind on the production to come, it has taken up the challenge by creating a very successful range of whiskey expressions thus nailing the beak to the "old" were waiting for him at the turn.
Under the leadership of the master distiller Gordon Mitchell, replaced in 2007 by James MacTaggart, the "newbies" have proven themselves by playing on a wide variety of finishing barrels: calvados, champagne, margaux, port, sauternes, marsala, cognac, rum… If 90% of its malted barley comes from old varieties cultivated in Bairds (on the Black Island), the remaining 10%, delicately peated (20ppm) are dedicated to “Machrie Moor” the peated single malt whiskey from Arran released in 2009.
In this vast range, Le Monde du Whiskey recommends the essential Arran10 years with its finish in sherry casks. This single malt won the 2012 San Francisco World Spirits Competition gold medal. -
