Arran 18 Year Ltd Ed.

This item is archived.

This limited edition release is the first 18 year old, and the oldest whisky to date to be bottled by the Isle of Arran Distillery since its founding in 1995. The whisky is a global release of just 9,000 bottles at 46%. It is the final whisky in the trilogy of 16, 17 and 18 years counting down to the launch of a core 18 year old expression. The whisky was matured exclusively in ex-Sherry Hogshead casks.

Distiller's Tasting Note

Aroma: Baked peaches with honey and toasted almonds. Sherry cask charring and subtle spice.

Palate: Waxy and coating with warmth of crystallized ginger and sweetness of crème brulee and caramelized brown sugar. Water uncovers floral notes, macadamia nuts and Seville orange marmalade.

Finish: Hazelnuts and nougat mingle with lightly toasted brioche and toffee apples.
