Arran Single Malt Scotch Whisky 14 Year Old

Arran 14 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a beautifully balanced Island single malt from Lochranza Distillery on the Isle of Arran. Matured for 14 years and bottled at 46% ABV, this expression bridges the gap between the youthful vibrancy of Arran's younger whiskies and the richer complexity of its older age statements. It showcases the distillery's signature fruit-forward character while introducing greater depth through carefully selected bourbon and sherry cask maturation.

The whisky is matured predominantly in ex-bourbon casks before additional maturation in fresh bourbon and sherry casks, creating a layered and elegant profile. The bourbon casks contribute creamy vanilla, orchard fruits and gentle sweetness, while the sherry casks bring dried fruit, baking spice and a richer texture without overwhelming the distillery's naturally vibrant spirit. Bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered and at natural colour, it offers a full-bodied mouthfeel and excellent depth of flavour.

The nose is inviting and complex, opening with ripe peach, pineapple, honey and citrus before developing notes of vanilla fudge, cinnamon, ginger and soft floral honey. The palate is rich and silky, revealing layers of orchard fruits, tropical notes, malted barley and creamy vanilla alongside warming spices and subtle oak. The finish is long, smooth and satisfying, leaving lingering notes of honey, vanilla, gentle spice and delicate oak.

Presented in a 70cl bottle, Arran 14 Year Old is an outstanding whisky for both newcomers to the distillery and long-time Arran enthusiasts. Its approachable balance of fruit, sweetness and spice makes it equally enjoyable neat or with a splash of water, while its elegant presentation makes it an excellent gift for birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas or any special occasion.
