Arran Private Cask #2012/1703 – 9 years Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Oloroso Sherry Butt 60%

Arran Private Cask #2012/1703 is a rare and powerful single malt whisky from the Isle of Arran – an exclusive bottling selected especially for Denmark. This whisky comes from a single cask and is bottled at full cask strength, providing an intense and authentic experience for whisky enthusiasts and collectors.

The whisky was distilled on 28 August 2012 and matured in an Oloroso Sherry Butt, which for nine years has given the whisky deep color, complex fruitiness and warm spice notes. It was bottled on July 1, 2022 in a very limited edition of only 666 bottles. This type of private cask bottling is sought after by collectors because each edition is unique and never repeated.

Arran Distillery is known for its clean and fruity style, and in combination with an Oloroso sherry cask, the whisky develops an impressive depth. The result is a whisky with layers of dark fruit, nuts, spices and elegant cask notes, further enhanced by the high alcohol content of 60%.
