Arran Sauternes Cask 70cl 50°
This single malt from Arran is matured in ex-Sauternes casks, a sweet French wine known for its lush character. The influence of these barrels brings generous notes of honey, ripe apricots, and buttery pastry, perfectly complementing Arran’s fruity distillate. Bottled at 50%, non-chill filtered and naturally colored, this expression is a perfect choice for those who love mellow, dessert-like whiskies with structure and depth.

Arran is the only distillery located on the Isle of Arran, Scotland. It has been established in 1995 in Lochranza.
Arran has been a part of the world of whisky for a long time. In the mid 18th century, the island had nearly fifty distilleries (most of them illegal or “moonlight” distilleries), but they all have closed since then. The new distillery opened in 1995 and renewed the tradition of Arran. The spirit produced on Arran received the “whisky” label in 1998.
