The story

This exclusive edition is the result of a collaboration between InterCaves and the Arran distillery, located on the eponymous island in Scotland. Distilled in 2014 and aged for 10 years in a bourbon cask , this single malt captures the pure essence of the Isle of Arran, known for its wild landscapes and ancient traditions. Bottled at its natural cask strength of 60.3%, this non-chill filtered whisky is a true celebration of Scottish craftsmanship and the richness of the island's terroir.

The origin

The Arran distillery, located on the island of the same name, has been producing elegant and complex whiskies since 1995. Renowned for its artisanal methods, it prides itself on using local ingredients, including crystal-clear spring water from the surrounding hills. The choice of a bourbon cask for this 2014 vintage highlights the natural notes of vanilla, caramel, and spice, while respecting the distinctive character of the island's whiskies.

Tasting

• Nose: A rich and expressive nose, dominated by aromas of creamy vanilla, salted caramel, and ripe yellow fruits such as pear and apricot. In the background, notes of light spices, coconut, and lemon zest provide freshness.
• Palate: A powerful and enveloping attack, marked by flavors of honey, toasted wood, and tropical fruits such as mango and pineapple. The oily texture highlights hints of white pepper, cinnamon, and a subtle touch of roasted hazelnut.
• Finish: A long and lingering finish, where the warmth of the alcohol fades to reveal sweet notes of vanilla, oak, and a touch of lemony bitterness. An elegant end to the tasting that underscores the intensity and complexity of this whisky.
