Arran 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 46% 700ml
Tasting Notes
The Arran 10 Year Old is the signature expression of Lochranza Distillery and an ideal introduction to the vibrant, fruit-driven style that has made Arran one of Scotland’s most admired island single malts.
Matured for ten years, with Bourbon casks playing a central role alongside the influence of first-fill Oloroso Sherry casks, it strikes an impressive balance between freshness, richness and complexity. Bright orchard fruit, citrus and vanilla sit at the heart of the whisky, complemented by honeyed sweetness, gentle oak, dried fruit and warming spice.
Bottled at 46% ABV, natural colour and non-chill filtered, the Arran 10 Year Old retains its natural texture and full expression of flavour. There is no heavy peat or excessive oak here. Instead, the focus is on purity of fruit, balance and the distinctive character of the spirit produced at Lochranza.
Approachable enough for someone discovering single malt whisky, yet with the depth and character to satisfy experienced drinkers, Arran 10 Year Old has established itself as the benchmark expression of the distillery.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Fresh and inviting, with candied citrus, honey and orchard fruit developing into notes of liquorice, vanilla and butterscotch.
Palate: Rounded and beautifully balanced. Bright citrus and crisp apple are joined by sweet oak, vanilla and a gentle underlying richness.
Finish: Long, clean and fresh, with lingering sweet spice, toasted hazelnut and cinnamon.
