- Description
- Arran's 1996 vintage matured in a single sherry cask for 24 years before March 2021 bottling, one of the distillery's earliest cask-fills at 49.5% ABV. Big, rich, and juicy with dark fruit, spice, and wood-driven warmth, this rare release demonstrates Arran possessed sophisticated whisky-making instincts from its inception despite limited documentation. An exclusive Whisky Exchange bottling for those seeking historic proof of the distillery's capability from its first years of operation.
