The Arran Malt 100 Proof Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Isle of Arran Distillers is one of the few remaining independent distilleries in Scotland, based at Lochranza on the Isle of Arran which lies off the West Coast between Ayrshire and Kintyre. The company was set up by Harold Currie, who was previously Managing Director of Chivas (Seagrams) and House of Campbell (Pernod Ricard). Only traditional methods are employed with wooden washbacks and copper stills designed to exacting specification. Non chill-filtered.
Arran as we know and love it, with the volume cranked up to 11!
Tasting Notes: Pale straw colour with water like hue. Slightly prickly, vanilla top note above creme caramel, spearmint, pineapple and hay. Thick, almost oily palate, shows generous flavours; spice, vanilla, creme caramel, pear and banana chips, slightly earthy finale. Perfect balance. Very long soft vanilla confectionary aftertaste. Unusually, there's an elegant element to this whisky which adds to the appeal. It isn't as clunky, prickly or as assertive as other malts with similar strength, yet delivers similarly intense flavours. Top value. Non chill filtered. 57.0% Alc./Vol.
