- Description
- Isle of Arran's 1996 vintage aged for 20 years in a Sherry hogshead, developing the island distillery's fruited character with deeper complexity from the Spanish oak. Sherry influence adds layers of dried stone fruit, baking spice, and polished wood alongside the spirit's natural maritime edge. The finish is long and warming, with sherry tannins lingering pleasantly. A fine example of how island character responds to quality Sherry cask maturation.
