Arran Fifteenth Anniversary Single Malt Scotch Whisky 15 Year Old · 1995 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with sunlit honey-gold radiance and a coppery edge.

Nose

Opulent sherry-driven aroma with dark plum, fig and raisin, layered with toffee and toasted oak. Bright orange zest and almond paste lend lift, while a whisper of sea breeze and subtle spice threads through the scent. At 51.4%, the bouquet feels polished, giving a warm, inviting depth that promises a long, refined finish.

Palate

A full-bodied, sherried palate that coats with velvet richness. Dark plum, fig and raisins weave with burnt sugar, orange zest and espresso. Rich vanilla and cocoa ride the oak, while cinnamon and clove provide a warming spice. A maritime bite threads through, finishing long and polished, with a lingering, warm spice that stays coursing through the palate.

Finish

An extended, elegant finish where sherry sweetness cloaks dark fruit, fig and cocoa, threading through toasted oak and spice. A whisper of maritime brine lingers, then a warm, peppery kiss from the 51.4% ABV, leaving a lingering, refined sweetness that invites the next sip.
