Sherry
A single cask bottling of 20 year old Arran single malt Scotch whisky, aged in a sherry butt from September 1996 to October 2016. Following that maturation, this was bottled at 49.5% ABV and released by the distillery for their White Stag Community members. 525 bottles were produced.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
An intriguing mix of cherries, orange marmalade and honey cake, the nose triggers nostalgia for Hogmanay on Arran. The Arran character still shines through with lighter fruits and delicate floral jasmine notes.
Creamy and complex with vanilla and sprinkles of sweet spice - cinnamon and nutmeg. Dark chocolate begins to emerge with cherries and figs giving a vibrant and luxurious mouthfeel. Water adds a layer of fresh fruit, with tropical notes of melon and banana in the background.
A sensory delight, it is long lasting and rich. More fruity than sweet, the dark chocolate, cherries and orange are ever present. This is a bold dram, edgy without regret, and like our White Stag, a robust and powerful creature.

Well, I thought it tasted like a bear claw.
Amazing
