Arran Whisky 4.5/5 (2)

“The making of single malt whisky is a sort of alchemy, the making of truly great single malt whisky is a form of magic”.

There are very few ingredients in our single malt whisky; water and malted barley. What makes them special is simply the quality of the water in Arran, the quality of the barley we select and lastly the skill of the Arran distillers to combine the two. This skill shouldn’t be underestimated. Selecting the right cask, knowing when that cask should be opened or left to mature for a little longer or adding a specific cask finish to enhance the flavour are gifts it takes generations to perfect.

Our single malts are our signatures; they are the unique taste of Arran. We hope you enjoy discovering them as much as we enjoyed creating them.

10  The classic expression of Arran – our fresh and unique island style is captured beautifully in our 10 Year Old Single Malt. First released in 2006, this is the flagship Single Malt of our distillery and one that we were very proud to launch to great acclaim. It is without doubt a ‘must have’ in the collection of all Single Malt Whisky enthusiasts.

Colour: Ripe Golden Barley

Nose:The initial rush of rich vanilla sweetness gives way to the fruits of slow distillation – kiwi, banana, cantaloupe melon – with just a dusting of cocoa powder. It is undoubtedly complex and yet the aromas are in complete harmony with the malt.

Palate: A touch of cinnamon adds a spicy edge to the soft and sweet texture which captivates the palate. The classic Arran citrus notes have rounded with age and reveal new depths of character against a background of sweet oak.

Finish: It drifts over the tongue like golden syrup and fades ever so slowly to tempt another sip. This is a beautifully made whisky.
