Arran Single Sherry Cask #84 Whisky 9 Year Old · 1998 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and a mahogany edge, a warm, sherry-kissed bronze.

Nose

Opulent sherry nose dominated by dark raisin, fig and dried apricot, with orange zest and toasted almond. Rich toffee, cocoa and vanilla swirl through caramel oak, while spice and a subtle coastal breeze from Arran lift the aroma. At 56% ABV the bouquet is bold, warm and inviting, hinting at a lush, fruit-forward profile to come.

Palate

Opulent and full-bodied, this Arran sherry-cask whisky unfolds with dried fig and raisin sweetness, orange zest, and dark chocolate over toasted almond. Spices—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—lace through velvety oak, while a maritime hint keeps the palate buoyant. A long, warming finish reveals leather and cocoa.

Finish

Long, velvety finish saturated with sherry, delivering raisin and fig with cocoa, toasted almond and orange zest. Gentle spice builds warmth as oak fades to a lingering, chocolate-dusted fruit finale.
