Arran Barrel Reserve Whisky

Never tried Arran whisky before and was a bit worried it would be Smokey. But it’s just as advertised- citrus and sweet. I found it a bit fiery neat but adding just a splash of water really opened it up, and while losing some aroma the taste then matched what it smells like out of the bottle. Can’t believe the price on this one either - cheaper than my all-time favourite Edradour. Will defo be buying this one again.

I had a 5cl miniature bottle of this Arran in a home made box of 24 assorted miniatures for the Christmas run in. Was looking forward to trying it having previously had a full bottle of the Arran Cask Finish. This American Oak Barrel finish is truly excellent though. Really get the Citrus flavours and nose and smooth as the day is long, smells more like apple juice than Whisky, an absolute Snip at around £30. I'll definitely be getting a bottle. Highly recommended 👌

Got a dram of this in a tasting selection , talk about refreshing and summery , I get green apples , a touch of pineapple ..very smooth and good sweetness , my first foray into Arran and I'm hugely impressed

A great find from my local whisky shop. Like other reviewers, I purchased this on a whim. Very surprised, there will be a bottle in my cabinet. Very crisp, a bit tart but a nice "neat" dram.

Bought this today on a whim and it didn't dissapoint. Unbelievably good for the price, smooth, goes down way to easily! Summery, as the reviewer below says, but it's warming me from the inside right now on a cold winter's evening.

Arrans new no age statement barrel reserve this drop is delicious, sweet lemony nose and green apples its taste is fresh vanilla but green apples and tart fruits with a hint of barrel spice. Non chill filtered and not colored I have nothing but respect for this Distillery.

Very light, for something at 43% , refreshing even, citrus but delicate, with a nice finish.

Like all Arran whisky, this is so drinkable.

One of the smoothest whiskeys I had the pleasure of drinking.
I gave some to a friend who doesn't like whiskey (having only tried Johnny Walker Red, I don't blame him) and he crossed to the right side.
