ARRAN - Vintage 1997 - Sherry Refill Cask - 25th Anniversary - Antipodes - Bottled in 2022 - 44.50% ABV
The Arran Malt is a renowned Single Malt distillery located on the beautiful Isle of Arran, on the west coast of Scotland. Known for its artisanal craftsmanship, it offers a wide range of whiskies with unique expressions and varied finishes. Founded in 1995, the distillery is situated in the north of the island, in the charming village of Lochranza, close to Loch na Davie, a source of pure water that feeds its production. Initially, the grist – ground grain used for brewing – was purchased, but an integrated mill now allows full control of the process. Arran Malt is distinguished by its fresh and tangy profile, attributed to the specific slow distillation in its traditional copper stills, offering a subtle and balanced character.
This exceptional expression from Arran is an exclusive bottling made for La Maison du Whisky. It comes from a Single Cask (#21997/1323), distilled on November 17, 1997, then matured in a Sherry Refill Cask, imparting rich and complex notes of dried fruits and soft spices. Bottled on August 24, 2022, this rare whisky has only 239 bottles produced, ensuring remarkable exclusivity for enthusiasts and collectors.
