Maturing in Amontillado sherry casks

Amontillado sherry casks are known for adding a special complexity to whisky. They add dried fruit notes, nutty nuances and an elegant spicy character that perfectly complements Arran’s fruity distillate.

The combination of Arran’s naturally fresh and fruity style with the deep sherry character creates a whisky with great depth, power and balance.

The whisky is non-chill-filtered and naturally colored, which means all the natural oils and aromas are retained in the bottle.
