Arran 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky represents the flagship whisky produced at Arran Distillery. The whisky is made from unpeated Scottish barley, which is malted and then fermented using a proprietary strain of yeast. Once the barley has been fermented, the wash is distilled twice — first through Arran’s copper-pot wash still and then again through Arran’s copper-pot spirit still. The stills were custom designed, says MacTaggart, and “shaped to allow the lighter vapors to come up through the stills.” As a result, Arran Single Malt Scotch Whisky has an appreciably softer and more delicate flavor profile.

The Arran 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky Tasting Notes

Nose: Aroma of creamy vanilla, sweet malt and tropical fruits.

Palate: Notes of kiwi, bananas, coconuts and melons on the palate, which are well-complemented by undertones of cinnamon, cloves and honey.

Finish: Finish is slightly sweet, with hints of maple syrup and caramel.

Distillery Information

Situated on the Isle of Arran, Arran Distillery was founded in 1994 by Harold Currie, the former director at Chivas Distillery, and is one of the last remaining independent distilleries in Scotland. When the distillery was finally completed in 1995 — construction was halted for nearly a year when a pair of Golden Eagles built their nest near the distillery — it became the first legal distillery on the Isle of Arran in over 150 years.
