Arran 1997 22 Year Old Single Cask #908 For www.arranwhisky.com
Lot number: 137-03132
Winning bid: £140
Situated in the Firth of Clyde, the island of Arran was once a hotbed of illicit distillation and smuggling. Eventually though the dreaded excise men got the best of Arran's renegade stillmen, and the island was without a working distillery from 1837. That all changed in 1995 when the Arran distillery at Lochranza started production.
Although it is a relative youngster, Arran's investment in quality casks has paid dividends, and its popularity continues to soar like the Golden Eagles that nest nearby. This quick success, combined with high visitor numbers at the Lochranza distillery, have enabled the company to construct another distillery at Lagg, on the south of the island, that will focus on creating peated whisky.
This Arran Single Cask has been specially selected for www.arranwhisky.com. The Bourbon barrel has allowed this Arran malt character to shine through beautifully, with vanilla and citrus notes evident on the nose and palate.
