Arran Barley 10 Year Old Single Malt - Batch 1

This limited edition Arran 10 year old Single Malt has been distilled using malted barley grown on the Isle of Arran, at Bellevue Farm by the Currie family. This whisky has been  matured in a selection of 1st Fill Bourbon Barrels and 2nd Fill Sherry Hogsheads in very similar proportions to our classic Arran 10 year old.
The Isle of Arran team considers it a privilege to work closely with another dedicated island producer to bring the provenance of their ingredients even closer to home. A new batch of Arran Barley Edition will be released annually with variances depending on the crop type, cask types and volumes available.
Every drop of Arran Single Malt starts its life as rainwater that pools at Loch na Davie in the beautiful hills above the distillery. The clear water cascades down the hillside, through six unassuming waterfalls, each one purifying the water further. The name of the burn, Easan Biorach, means ‘Sharp Waterfalls’ in Gaelic.
 
Nose: Fresh herbs, light citrus. Medium sweetness and vanilla. Aniseed.
Palate: Spicy, ginger and biscuity. Oak forward with vanilla. Citrus notes and a complex oily viscosity amplify the fruit.
Finish: Medium, dry with citrus and ginger/aniseed lingering.
