Every June we hold our annual Arran Malt & Music Festival in the grounds of our Distillery in Lochranza. Each year we produce a special Festival bottling to mark the occasion and this bottling is usually chosen by the particpants of Euan or James's Masterclass from the year before. This year's offering was selected by the participants of the 2014 Ultimate Masterclass. It is a single cask Arran Malt matured in a French Oak Cask from the Normandy region of France. The cask details are:
Cask: French Oak Barrique 2005/22
Distilled On: 01.08.2005
Bottled on: 03.06.15
This bottling is an exclusive to our Visitor Centre in Lochranza, however 50 bottles are being made available online for Arran friends who were not able to attend this year's Festival. Please note that there is a limit of 2 bottles per order.
Tasting Notes
The fresh character of our Single Malt in thie bottling has been delicately infused with notes of sweet orchard fruits and green apples imparted by the cask, creating an intriguing marriage which is delicately balanced with hints of sweet and warming spice. The mouthfeel is fruity and luxurious - hints of golden sultanas and raisins are followed by a touch of vanilla pod and candied citrus.
