- Description
- Vintage Bottlers' 27-year-old Arran, matured in oloroso casks and bottled at 51.6%, shows restrained sherry influence supporting a bright, fruity core. The extended aging adds depth and integration without overwhelming the distillery's signature character. An elegant older expression that demonstrates how Arran develops with time in quality wood. For collectors valuing balance over overt sherry dominance.
