Arran Cask Strength 3rd Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with copper highlights and a touch of mahogany.

Nose

Opulent and persistent, this nose unveils dark orchard fruit—ripe fig, raisin, baked apple—layered with toffee and vanilla. Sherry-cask influence brings cocoa, spiced oak, and a hint of dried fruit, while a whisper of sea breeze keeps it balanced and distinctly coastal.

Palate

Opulent and full-bodied, this cask-strength Arran coats the palate with rich sherry fruit—fig, raisin, date—mellowed by toffee, vanilla and cocoa. Bright orange zest and spice (cinnamon, clove) meet a touch of coastal salt. Velvet and warming, the 53.9% ABV lends a long, nutty finish—dark chocolate, toasted oak, and a final whisper of spice.

Finish

Long, warming finish with a maritime edge. Rich sherry-derived sweetness coats the tongue with dark chocolate, figs and raisins, while orange zest and toasted spice lift the aroma. The high ABV delivers a bold, lingering warmth, as nutty oak and a saline kiss persist, slowly fading to a delicate halo of dried fruit.
