  • Arran 14 year old - Their naked quality dram

    By WhiskyNotes on 20th Aug 20102010-08-20T08:29:00

    Arran distillery is only 15 years old, so a 14 year old can be seen as a milestone. On the long term, the core range should consist of a 10, 14 and 18 year old. The 14 Year Old was re-racked into fresh… read more

  • Master of Malt Single Cask 12 Year Old Arran - Liquid Turkish delight

    By WhiskyNotes on 13th Jan 20102010-01-13T00:36:00

    Nose: a great maritime wave up front, that I’ve never experienced with Arran (a light sea breeze). It even hints towards farmy notes (yummie) that you can find in some Connemara, while at the same time… read more

  • Arran 10 Year old - Genuinely charming dram

    By jdcook on 22nd Oct 20092009-10-22T12:04:00

    There is a slight initial hit (for me this hit lasts less than a half second) of seaweed, smoke and salt before the nose settles and becomes fruity (pear-like), with a vanilla sweetness, and the only part… read more

  • Arran Arran Peacock - What a marriage

    By Macdeffe on 2nd Oct 20092009-10-02T14:07:00

    How well can bourbon and sherry casks work together ? Very well when it comes to this malt. The two cask types battles to give their flavours away to the drinker in a perfect harmony. Best vatting I have… read more
