Arran Malt • Port Cask

After initially maturing in traditional oak casks for approximately 8 years the Arran Single Malt in this bottling was finished in the highest quality Port wine casks from an artisan producer of this iconic Portuguese fortified wine . Our Master Distiller James MacTaggart has carefully monitored this period of secondary maturation to ensure the perfect balance is struck between the Port casks and the intrinsic sweet-fruity character of The Arran Malt. The end result is a Single Malt full of charm complexity and quality and an extremely popular part of our range. 50% ABV Tasting Notes: Color: Deep Bronze Nose: Vanilla spice and ripe citrus running into dried fruits and nuttiness.

The dram opens out to reveal warming barley and a hint of sweet pear. Finish: A classic Single
