The Arran 17yo Rare Batch Calvados Cask is a distinguished single malt whisky from the renowned Arran Distillery, situated on the picturesque Isle of Arran in Scotland. Exclusively aged for 17 years in rare Calvados casks, this unique release showcases a maturation process seldom seen in whisky production. Calvados, a fine apple brandy hailing from the Normandy region of France, imparts a distinctive character to this whisky. With a robust ABV of 52.5%, this whisky offers a powerful and intricate experience. The nose presents a symphony of dried apples, sweet baked goods, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, complemented by subtle hints of cocoa. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied, layered profile with flavors of apple, heather honey, almond, dark chocolate, and cacao. The experience deepens with earthy undertones and a long-lasting finish marked by dried apple, garden fruit, and cocoa notes. This limited release is part of the esteemed "Rare Batch" series, making it a prized addition for collectors. The whisky was matured in ex-Calvados casks, sourced from a family-owned producer in Pont-l'Eveque with a rich history in Calvados production. A total of 4,200 bottles were crafted, each filled at natural cask strength, without chill filtration or added color, ensuring an authentic and unadulterated tasting experience. The Arran 17yo Rare Batch Calvados Cask Whisky exemplifies the versatility and maritime influence of Scottish whisky, particularly from the Islands region. Its unique aging process and exceptional quality stand as a testament to the innovative spirit of the Arran Distillery.
