Is this Arran's answer to "Local Barley"? This 10 year old limited edition Arran was made with barley from a local farm on Arran, matured in First Fill ex-Bourbon & Second Fill Sherry Hogsheads, before bottling at 50%. Limit 1 Per Customer!
Producer Description
"This limited edition Arran 10 year old Single Malt has been distilled using malted barley grown on the Isle of Arran, at Bellevue Farm by the Currie family.
"This whisky has been matured in a selection of our 1st Fill Bourbon Barrels and2nd Fill Sherry Hogsheads in very similar proportions to our classic Arran 10 year-old. It has been our privilege to work closely with another dedicated island producer to bring the provenance of our ingredients even closer to home.
"A new small batch of Arran Barley Edition will be released annually with variances depending on the crop type, cask types and volumes available"
700 mlAndrew's Tasting Note
Nose: honeyed, malty, and thick, with a burst of citrus; oily with chewy malt and wet pebble minerality; vanilla custard, clotted cream, and whipped ricotta with honey; juicy lemon, lime zest, and orange oil.
Palate: thick, sweet, and toasty with more chewy malt and bright citrus; the barley takes centre stage, backed up by creamy vanilla, and a hint of sherry; still oily, more chewy malt, and with a nice minerality; lime zest on cream cheese icing, a spritz of fresh squeeze lemon, and candied orange peel; pears, milk chocolate, and decadent spice to round things out: cinnamon sticks and candied ginger.
Finish: long, coating, and oily with more chewy malt, citrus, and spice.
Comment: just enough oak influence to keep it restrained, but not so much as to mask this oilier, more mineral-driven take on Arran; this is to Arran, as Local Barley is to Springbank... well done!
Producer Tasting Note
Nose: Fresh herbs, light citrus. Medium sweetness and vanilla. Aniseed.
Palate: Spicy, ginger and biscuity. Oak forward with vanilla. Citrus notes and a complex oily viscosity amplify the fruit.
Finish: Medium, dry with citrus and ginger/aniseed lingering.

The third release in the Signature Series is a 12 year old Arran matured 6 years in ex-Bourbon before finishing 6 more in first fill Spanish ex-Wine Casks. 50% Limit 1 Per Customer!
Producer Description
"This is the third bottling in our popular series selected and signed by Distillery Manager Stewart Bowman.
"With Signature Series Edition 3 'Duero Discovery', you'll discover the influence of an excellent quality wine cask on our Arran Single Malt. The red wine casks used in this bottling were previously used to mature wine from the wine-producing region along the Duero River, in northern Spain, before they arrived with us in Lochranza. This rich, ruby amber coloured whisky is a Premium 12 year old unpeated example of Arran Single Malt.
"The Duero Discovery was initially matured for 6 years in first and second fill bourbon barrels and then transferred into first fill Spanish red wine casks and matured in our dunnage warehouse number 4 under the watchful eye of Distillery Manager Stewart Bowman for a further 6 years. Stewart has blended the resulting whisky from these casks at the optimal age of 12years and is proud to present an unusual maturation of Arran Single Malt bearing his signature and seal of approval."

Andrew's Words from the Rear Label
"Kensington Wine Market’s relationship with Isle of Arran Distillers goes back more than 20 years, to the early 2000s. In that time, we have bottled more single casks from Arran (Lochranza) than we have from any other distillery. Arran has remained one of our favourite whiskies over the last 20 years owing to the quality of its bottlings, and the value they continue to offer to customers. This is our 14th KWM exclusive cask of Arran, and it should be arriving just in time to celebrate our 34th Anniversary. But we dedicate this one to our friends at Isle of Arran, who recently celebrated their 30th Anniversary!”

The Arran 10 Year has been a staple at KWM for more than a decade. We love the fact that it is un-chill filtered and bottled without colouring at 46%. It is a great whisky for those just cutting their teeth or those in search of a great quality whisky that doesn't break the bank. The latest batches show a bit more sherry influence creeping in.
