Arran Private Cask 2001/870 – 13 years Single Malt 55,9%

This exclusive bottling represents Arran’s fruity and elegant style in its purest form and is a great choice for collectors and whisky enthusiasts alike.

The whisky was distilled on December 13, 2001 and matured for 13 years in a carefully selected bourbon cask (cask #2001/870). It was selected directly at the distillery on the Isle of Arran on September 8, 2015 and later bottled on October 16, 2015.

Only 215 bottles were bottled from this cask, making this edition an extremely limited and sought-after whisky. Bottled at natural cask strength of 55.9%, the whisky retains its full character and intensity.

Bourbon cask gives pure Arran character

Aging in bourbon casks brings out Arran’s natural style with fresh fruit, vanilla and elegant sweetness. The interplay between the oak spice and the fruity character of the distillate creates a whisky with balance, complexity and richness.

At cask strength, you get a powerful and authentic whisky experience where all the aromas and nuances come to the fore. A drop of water can further open the whisky and bring out its fruity and spicy nuances.
