€78.43 /L
The Arran 10-Year-Old whisky is an unpeated single malt produced by the renowned Arran distillery, located on the eponymous island. This whisky stands out due to its lack of chill filtration, thus preserving its full richness and authentic character. It is the result of a harmonious blend of whiskies aged 40% in sherry casks, which impart fruity and spicy notes, and 60% in bourbon casks, adding aromas of vanilla and caramel. The outcome is a balanced and complex whisky, reflecting the wild beauty and spirit of the Isle of Arran, where maritime influences and a temperate climate create ideal conditions for whisky maturation.
