The Arran Malt Aged 10 Years Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 700ml

Product Information

Palate: Pretty strong, some pepper, and sweet and fruity notes, tropical fruits, vanilla. Also some hints of milkchocolate. Nose: Very light and clean nose, mild fruity characteristics: kiwi and bananas, butterscotch, but also farmy and grainy, scents reminiscent of a warm oatmeal. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. Very Sweet. a great starter Scotch for the Young palates out there. Honey, Citrus, chewy fruit. Really a very well balanced Whisky for one so young.

Due to my expectations of it being an Island Scotch, my brain instantly was expecting the more brash flavours of Talisker and Jura. I was very wrong. Taste: A solid mouthfeel and arrival. Malty flavours mixing it up with creamy butter and bakery notes – a buttery biscuit base. Fruits are much more green on the palate with apples and grapes adding a fresh summer sharpness. There’s a good level of bite and astringency here, as well as pleasant oak spicing from ginger and both salt and pepper.

Whiskybase B.V. is registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under no. 52072819. The taste is vanilla sweet with a slight salty smokiness - fruity, even slight notes of chocolate. Just enough spice to leave your mouth and lips tingling. Very warm, even hot - and quite smooth. The flagship products of Arran are the distillery’s non-age-stated Robert Burns single malt, and the core Arran 10 Year, the youngest of its age-stated products. That’s the sample I had, and that’s what we’re reviewing today. It’s bottled at a respectable 92 proof (46% ABV). It’s not entirely clear what kind of barrels this is aged in, but the assumption is that it’s exclusively re-use bourbon casks.Arran Bottler Distillery Bottling Bottled 2014 Stated Age 10 years old Strength 46.0 % Vol. Size 50 ml 700 ml 1000 ml Bottle code L020217 Barcode 5060044480638 Added on 15 sep 2014 12:32 pm by Erik Elixir However, Harold Currie (former director of Chivas) founded Arran distillers, with the distillery opening in 1995 in Locranza. Locranza is a village on Arran, an oval-shaped island on the west coast of Scotland, located west of Glasgow, just east of Mull of Kintyre. Arran is a unique island steeped in a history of illicit distilling, with around 50 distilleries, with the last legally founded distillery (Lagg) closing in 1837. On the west coast of the Isle of Arran lies a windswept and mystical peat bog called Machrie Moor. Bronze Age stone circles and standing stones are strewn across its barren, undulating terrain. One of the stone circles is known as Fingal’s Cauldron Seat, where sits a stone with a carved hole. The legendary warrior giant Fingal is said to have tethered his favourite dog Bran to this stone. This peated expression of the Arran Single Malt perfectly captures the rugged beauty and lore of the landscape. Unleash the legend that is Machrie Moor.

An excellent bottling of brilliant Arran Single Malt Whisky, where the casks were selected by our buying team at Royal Mile Whiskies. This is a late 2020 bottling of the flagship, age-stated malt from the only (for now) distillery on the Isle of Arran. I have to note that it is distinctly darker than the last bottle I bought (with the older label and taller bottle). I seem to remember hearing a rumour about them adding more sherry casks into the mix, and looking at the two bottles side by side, it would be a decent bet. I really enjoyed my last bottle of the ten and was surprised by the quality and fruity profile. So how is it faring a few years on? The classic fresh Arran Single Malt character with a puff of peat smoke. This new 10 year old release of Machrie Moor - our iconic Peated Arran Single Malt produced at Lochranza Distillery- now joins our Machrie Moor range, and will be bottled in very small quantities every year. Now you have three wonderful lighty peated options to try from our Lochranza Distillery. Nose: Fresh and malty. Vanilla sweetness with a distinct whiff of unripe tangerine, interwoven with a very vague sea breeze. So, I refrained from purchasing it between the draw and christmas. Then, since our state owned liquor stores were out, I waited. BTW, I can surely attest that single malt scotch were a very popular Xmas gift last decembre.A Love Letter to I’m Sorry and a Tribute to Funny Moms in 3 Bits By Annie Berke September 6, 2023 | 11:48am We may, but are not under any obligation, to release new functionalities and tools or other features for the Service every now and then.

Further, we reserve the right to modify, change, discontinue the Service, add or remove features, update the Service, change its appearance, temporarily and permanently, at any time, in whole or any part thereof. If any new distillery follows the way Lochranza Distillery has gone about making whisky when they started before the modern whisky boom in 1995 i.e. Non-chill filtered, natural colour, 46% ABV and selling it at an affordable price, then they will be onto a winner with repeat customers. This cookie is set by Rubicon Project to control synchronization of user identification and exchange of user data between various ad services. Their new brand reflects the eagles (no not the band) that made Lochranza their home which even caused the building work of the distillery to come to a brief halt. It is great that they turned what must have been a remarkably frustrating time and embraced it as part of their identity.

Without prejudice to the section Liability below, the Service may be temporarily unavailable during maintenance, updates, etc. We shall make reasonable efforts to inform you of any unavailability due to maintenance or updates. Nose: Rich tropical fruits. Papaya, mango, pineapple, banana, lots of vanilla. I've heard this described (probably here on Connosr) as a tropical fruit salad and I couldn't agree more. A nice cereal note as well, I love getting a malty, cereal note that shows off the spirit itself. Very pleasant nose.

Which could wait, but won't: the stuff is moorish. As in "I want moore". Mouth: Creamy on the palate, citrus notes, spiced up with a teaspoon of ginger spice and sweet overripe apples.Nose: Sharp. Citrus and zest, with white tea undertone. Eucalyptus and creme brûlée emerge from the depths.

How can a whisky be as fruity and yet as powerful in your throat (not smooth). I’m not a friend of fruity whiskies so my points should not be taken seriously, if you’re a “fruit lover”. And I’m not saying this is a bad whisky. On the contrary, this is very rich and versatile. I wouldn’t buy a bottle of this in my cabinet again but I can honestly recommend this for everyone as a sample. The right word for Arran 10 is interesting. Happily, I have not noticed much difference in a few-months aged sample. If anything, the flavors have just intensified.
