Arran 1996 Single Cask Sherry Hogshead The Whisky Shop 30th anniversary 48.5% 700ml information

The Arran 1996 Single Cask Sherry Hogshead is a distinguished 26-year-old single malt whisky, masterfully distilled on the picturesque Isle of Arran and bottled at an impressive 48.5% ABV. Crafted in 1996 and bottled in 2022, this whisky has been aged to perfection in a sherry hogshead, a maturation process that imparts rich and complex flavors. Limited to just 247 bottles, this exclusive release was made available to commemorate The Whisky Shop's 30th anniversary. On the nose, this whisky tantalizes with an elegant bouquet of dark fruits, mellow caramel, exotic spices, and polished oak. The first sip reveals a harmonious mélange of orchard fruits, layered with notes of figs, brown sugar, and culminating in a decadent dark chocolate finish. The long and lingering finish allows each nuanced flavor to leave a lasting impression. The Arran distillery, nestled in Lochranza, boasts a fascinating history. Founded in 1994 by Harold Currie, a former director of Chivas and a D-Day veteran, the distillery's construction was notably delayed by the presence of protected golden eagles. The site’s rich distilling heritage is a nod to the island’s past, where roughly 50 distilleries once thrived. Among these, the most renowned previous distillery was Lagg, which ceased operations in 1837. In its earlier days, Arran stored its casks at Springbank in Campbeltown before offering enthusiasts the unique opportunity to own and store personal casks at the distillery. This particular single cask, #877, is a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication of the Arran distillery, released in honor of The Whisky Shop's milestone anniversary.
