Awarded Best Single Malt Scotch of the Year 11-15yrs (Single Cask)

Arran Malt Sherry Single Cask 1998/353 – Rating: 94.5
“One of the noses of the year, for sure. It is just so rare to come across sherry butts unspoiled by sulphur these days I could weep for joy when I find one like this. ”

Arran Malt 10yr Old – Rating: 93
“Charming, delicate; varying citrus notes hand in hand with rich,
butterscotch barley.” “This bottling of some of Arran’s first casks entertains and delights. It won’t be long before the world’s malt connoisseurs add Arran to their list of must haves. Because if it’s character and quality you
want, it’s here by the malt shed load.”

“Perhaps the best Arran nose of all time. Your tastebuds will be tested like they have never been tested before. A true gold nugget of a bottling. I’m astonished at its total brilliance.”
