This single malt whisky hails from the Isle of Arran, known for its unique and diverse whisky production. Distilled in 1998 and matured in a single sherry cask, it offers a rich and complex profile that showcases the influence of sherry cask aging. The whisky is unpeated, allowing the natural flavors of the malt and the sherry cask to shine through without the interference of smoke.
On the nose, this whisky presents a bouquet of dried fruits, with prominent notes of raisins and figs, complemented by a subtle hint of oak. The palate is equally rich, with layers of dark chocolate, sherry sweetness, and a touch of spice, creating a well-rounded and satisfying experience. The finish is long and warming, leaving a lingering taste of dried fruits and oak.
This whisky is perfect for those who appreciate the depth and complexity that sherry cask aging can bring to a single malt. Its rich and robust flavor profile makes it an excellent choice for sipping neat or with a drop of water to open up its full range of aromas and flavors.
