ARRAN 10 years old

Founded in 1995, the Arran distillery is located in Lochranza, on the Isle of Arran, off the west coast of Scotland. It produces single malts that generally emphasize fruit, freshness, and balance, with a style that is not heavily influenced by peat.

The Arran 10 Year Old is one of the distillery's iconic expressions. It perfectly embodies this identity, with an accessible yet sufficiently complex aromatic profile to appeal to whisky lovers. Its fruity character and generous texture make it an excellent starting point for discovering island single malts.

This whisky is made from malted barley, distilled twice in traditional copper stills. It is aged for at least ten years in oak casks, primarily in former bourbon casks, supplemented by a proportion of first-fill Oloroso sherry casks.

Bottled at 46% ABV, Arran 10 Year Old is non-chill filtered and contains no added colouring. It thus retains its natural texture and a colour derived exclusively from its time in cask.

On the nose, the whisky reveals a fresh and expressive bouquet, dominated by candied citrus fruits, vanilla, and honey. Notes of licorice and caramel add depth, while apple and orchard fruits highlight its indulgent character.

On the palate, the attack is smooth and round. Flavours of apple, orange, and lemon blend with generous vanilla, delicate oak notes, and sweet spices, notably cinnamon. The texture is full and pleasant without being heavy, with a fine balance of fruit, sweetness, and oak.

The finish is long and clean, marked by cinnamon, hazelnut, and a lingering citrus presence.
