The Isle of Arran distillery began refining (cask finishes) very early on.
For several years, the permanent range has been built around the expressions Amarone Cask Finish, Port Cask Finish and Sauternes Cask Finish, which are now presented in the refined, premium and ultra-modern bottles which characterize Arran, more dynamic than ever.
The single malt was matured in Sauternes barrels donated by an artisanal producer of this sweet and renowned white wine.
The Master Blender, James MacTaggart, carefully monitored this “second maturation” to guarantee the balance between the contribution of the Sauternes barrels and the sweet and fruity character representative of Arran.
Bottled at 50% to maximize the concentration of aromas and flavors, non-chill filtered and without colorings, this rich and fruity single malt is perfect for a digestive, with its notes of spices, honey, nuts and yellow fruits. and the orchard.
Sweet, fruity. Apricot, honey, nutmeg.
