SOUTHERN / AMERICAN / PACIFIC WINE & SPIRITS® Arran Port Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky (Isle of Arran, Scotland) – [WE 96-100] – 6060904054943

About the Whisky:

After initially maturing in traditional oak casks for approximately 8 years, The Arran Single Malt in this bottling was finished in a selection of Port casks sourced from an artisan producer of this iconic Portuguese fortified wine.

The maturation process was monitored under the watchful eye of our Master Distiller, to ensure that the Port casks and the intrinsic character of The Arran Single Malt partnered with each other perfectly. The end result is a combination that’s full of charm and rich flavour, and a wonderful way to discover more about the Arran range of Single Malts.

Awards/Reviews:

96-100 Points, Best Buy – Wine Enthusiast

“There is no stopping this aroma which includes scents of grapes, oranges, cotton, tar, wood shavings, fruitcake, chocolate covered cherries and candied almond. The palate entry is fruity and ripe; the midpalate highlights honey, Sherry, baked apple and ruby Port. Finishes warm, sweet, ripe and jammy. Add mineral water before tasting. A landmark achievement for this still-young distillery.”
