- Description
- This 17-year-old limited edition combines sherry hogsheads and bourbon barrels, balancing sultanas and vanilla against fresh apple, cinnamon, and almond at 46% ABV. The unpeated profile showcases Arran's fruity character without the maritime smoke common to western isles distilleries. The dual-cask maturation creates layered sweetness and spice complexity. A refined expression suited to those appreciating orchard fruit and warming spice over peat.
