New and Exclusive: Arran 1996 #862

Many of you will be aware of the rarity of old Arran casks. Here we present a single sherry cask aged 24 years, harking back to the distillery’s earliest years. In our latest Autumn issue of Whiskeria, Charles MacLean writes: “An outstanding example of the make – rich and complex, sweet and sour, wholly satisfying. A rare opportunity to acquire a very scarce bottle indeed.” We couldn’t agree more! Act fast.

Exclusive to The Whisky Shop London, this Arran 1996 single cask is one of the oldest expressions ever released by the distillery. Long-aged Arran casks are hard to find, as the distillery only began operating the year before in 1995. This expression spent 24 years lying in rest in a sherry cask. It is free from chill filtration and has a natural deep amber colour. Bottled at 47.8% abv, there are only 231 bottles available which are strictly limited to one per customer.

A rich, and juicy nose, it has flavours of macerated dried fruits, red cherries, dark chocolate, and this sweetness is paired with a savoury herbal character. The finish is warm and luxurious, both sweet and savoury, and with a lingering note of chocolate orange. This is a premium single malt that exemplifies the innovative spirit of the Arran distillery, and one we feel privileged to offer.
