Winner of 6 awardsArran
Officially launched in 2006, this 10 year old lies at the heart of the Isle of Arran range and exudes all the honeyed richness we have come to associate with the island distillery.

From a neat pour there's not too much on the nose. Some tart green apples, green grass, salt, and a fresh baked yeast roll with butter and honey. The palate is sweet and oily with a continuation of the green apple notes. The finish is quick and somewhat dry, however I found it quite enjoyable overall. At first the aftertaste is somewhat 'sterile' and tart, but that quickly goes away with continued enjoyment. Wonderful little dram!
This malt is impressive in its relative complexity for its age. The nose is busy, spicy, honey, green apples, slight cinnamon. Taste wise, a bit more simple than the nose. Butterscotch, apples, the barley comes through. With an explicit mention of age, no color added, no chill filtration, 46% ABV, a true craft whisky.
First off this is of exeptional value! ! Wait and see aran malt jump in price once they get more established. Fruity nose kinda reminds me of a glenlivet but less... generic. This is a 10 year old so dont expect great complexity but this one is rather vibrant for a 10 year old! Gotta love the fact that there are no artificial colors and that it is un chillfiltered.. thus is where all scotch companys should invest in!! Support the small giys not the mega distilleries. . These guys are doing it the right way!
Am not a big fan of Isle whiskeys. Gave Arran a chance and was pleasantly supprized. Not to smokey but does leave a taste. Very Nice. No match to the stronger peaty whiskeys like Ardbeg and the likes but a nice soft drop.
I find to to be quite spicy in a way, although in a good way. Spicy, a kick in the mouth, and lingering sweet taste after you swallow it. Definitely has that malt taste, and quite an enjoyable smell. Not really an expert, but I enjoy this whisky.
