Arran Cask Strength Batch 5 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with coppery-gold highlights and a mahogany-tinged glow.

Nose

Intense sherry-driven aroma of ripe dried fruits—raisin, fig and sultana—layered with dark chocolate, treacle and toasted almond. Warm spice (cinnamon, clove) with orange zest, vanilla and rich oak weave a luxurious, balanced fragrance that hints at the strength to come.

Palate

Full-bodied and opulent on the palate, this release coats with a supple, velvety grip. Dark espresso and rich cocoa meet ripe fig, raisin, and dried plum from the sherry cask influence. Treacle, toffee, and a touch of orange zest swirl with cinnamon and clove spice. The warm, peppery finish lingers, leaving oak and a savoury, nutty embrace.

Finish

An opulent, lingering finish of dried fruit and sherry sweetness that slowly fades to dark chocolate and orange zest. Rich spice—cinnamon and clove—weds with warm oak, leaving a peppery, resinous trail. Grants a long, velvety farewell that calls you back for another sip.
