The Arran 17 year-old Single Malt is a limited edition bottling for 2023, with only 12,000 bottles available worldwide. This whisky was matured for 17 years in an even mix of first and second fill Sherry Hogsheads and first fill Bourbon Barrels at the Arran Distillery, located on the Isle of Arran in Scotland. The distillery is celebrated for its proximity to the pristine waters of Loch na Davie, which is reputed to imbue its whisky with a distinctive character. Bottled at 46% ABV, this single malt is non-chill filtered and contains no added coloring, ensuring a pure and authentic experience.
The nose of this whisky presents notes of green apple, orchard fruits, and almond, while the palate reveals butterscotch, vanilla, and a hint of toasted oak. The soft and lingering finish offers nuances of almond, vanilla, and a touch of cinnamon. This whisky is described as having a perfect balance of juicy stone fruit, citrus zest, and gentle smokiness, making it an excellent representation of the Arran Distillery's character.
The Arran Distillery, founded in 1995 by former Chivas Brothers managing director Harrold Currie, was the first legal operation on the Isle of Arran in over 160 years, heralding a renaissance in the island's whisky production. Known for its dedication to authenticity and quality, the distillery draws its water from the pure Loch na Davie. In 2017, with Arran thriving, two additional stills were installed at the Lochranza site and construction began on a second distillery. Arran's sister distillery, Lagg, began production in early 2019 on the south side of the Isle of Arran, focusing on peated whiskies, complementing the unpeated character of the Arran Distillery.
This whisky is unique due to its maturation process, which involves a combination of first and second fill Sherry Hogsheads and first fill Bourbon Barrels, as well as its pure water source from Loch na Davie. The balance of fruity, nutty, and spicy notes also contributes to its distinct character.
No, this whisky is non-chill filtered, allowing for a more authentic and unaltered flavor profile.
