The Arran Malt finished in Sauternes casks. These casks that previously held Bordeaux sweet wine give a honeyed sweetness to the isle of Arran’s only single malt distillery.

An interesting entry in the Arran Cask Finishes range, with the spirit spending the last few years of its maturation in a Sauternes sweet wine cask. Expect some sweet grapey notes as well as some tasty woody spice.

This is the Arran Single Malt finished in Sauternes casks, that previously held the Bordeaux sweet wine. This finish gives a honeyed sweetness to the isle of Arran’s only single malt distillery.

Arran is a relative newcomer to the hallowed halls of single-malt scotch but has now been around long enough to turn up its figurative nose at the proliferation of craft producers riding the wave of popularity that whisky is currently enjoying worldwide.

After all, Arran was built in 1995, when you could still buy Macallan 18 for under $80 and Pappy Van Winkle bottles collected dust on liquor store shelves.

Arran might be best known for its confusing collection of confection-colored carafes with cask finishes of everything from Amarone to Tokaji, although word is that they’ve begun to calm down with the experimental one-offs. They also have a core range of age-stated releases.

Nose:

Initially acacia honey but then opening up to apricots, bananas, and pears. With time a floral elegance presents itself.

Palate:

Sweet but cut with warm spice. Lemon zest announces itself with the addition of water and a slight saltiness plays with this dram’s sweet character.

Finish:

Seville orange, Sauternes, and an ounce of honey in a crisp finish.

Overall:

Yet another successful cask-finish from this island distillery.
