The Arran Wooden Box 25yo is a masterful expression from the Arran distillery, located in the picturesque region of the Islands. This exceptional whisky, bottled at 46% ABV, has been lovingly matured for 25 years and bottled in 2020 without chill filtration or the addition of coloring. Limited to just 3,000 bottles, this annual release is a highlight of Arran's core range. Crafted from casks distilled in 1995, the opening year of the Arran Distillery founded by Harold Currie, the whisky was initially matured in a combination of ex-Sherry and ex-Bourbon casks. To achieve its remarkable depth and complexity, it was re-casked into first-fill and refill sherry hogsheads for 12 months prior to bottling. This innovative aging process imparts rich flavors and a distinctive character to the whisky. The distillery itself, steeped in history, is located in Lochranza, a place once teeming with over 50 distilleries, most of which were unlicensed. Among the notable distilleries was Lagg, which closed its doors in 1837. Today, Arran Distillery stands as a testament to the island's proud distilling heritage, offering enthusiasts the opportunity to own their own cask of whisky, stored on-site at the distillery. On the nose, the Arran Wooden Box 25yo presents a rich oak aroma complemented by gentle nutmeg, and sweeter notes of baked ripe figs, sultanas, and black cherries. On the palate, it unfolds with flavors of fruit cake, orange zest, caramel, baked apricots, and a hint of cinnamon, culminating in a creamy and spicy finish with dark chocolate and fruit compote. This is Arran's oldest age statement in their core range, offering a truly luxurious and complex tasting experience.
