Arran The Explorers Series Volume 2 - Lochranza Castle Single Malt Scotch Whisky 21 Year Old
In stock
On the northern coast of the Isle of Arran, the visitor will enter the picturesque village of Lochranza, home of The Arran Single Malt. Stretching across the wide bay in the middle of the village lies a short peninsula upon which Lochranza Castle strikes a solitary figure across the landscape. A rare sight, it was originally built as a medieval hall-house in the 1200s and today stands proudly as a focal point of the village. Stags roam freely and the natural amphitheatre of the hills provides a stunning backdrop for this ancient ruin, sparking the imagination of the visitor and creating a sense of the history of this tranquil coastal village.
This view of the castle from the banks of Lochranza Bay is best taken in with a dram of The Arran Single Malt in hand. This particular example is 21 years old and has been matured in Sherry Hogsheads before being finished in Amontillado Sherry Casks sourced directly from Bodegas Tradicion in Jerez De La Frontera, Spain.
The resulting elegant and flavoursome whisky perfectly compliments the majestic scenery and natural beauty of our home village of Lochranza. Take your senses on an adventure around the Isle of Arran.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with coppery highlights and mahogany undertones.
Nose
Rich sherry sweetness opens with dark fig and prune, toasted almond and walnut, and a coat of velvety toffee and vanilla. Amontillado influence adds nutty, slightly saline notes: citrus zest, cocoa and spice weaving through. A refined coastal bouquet that speaks of Arran’s island heritage and 21 years of patient maturation.
Palate
Silky and full-bodied, this sherry-forward malt coats the palate with dark fruit liqueur—prune, raisin, fig—bound with toasted almond, cocoa and spice. A hint of orange zest and sea salt lifts the sweetness, leading to a long, nutty Amontillado finish with warm oak and lingering elegance.
Finish
An enduring, refined finish that lingers with amontillado-sherry grace: almond and dried fig sweetness, orange zest, cocoa and spice, slowly giving way to warm maritime oak.
