A well-sherried Arran single malt? Oh yes! This particular expression has been dubbed The Bodega, and after it was distilled at Lochranza the whisky has been matured for seven years in first-fill sherry hogsheads. It's presented in a rather elegant and handsome bottle. Lots of dried fruit and chocolate over here.
Orange chocolate, with Christmas spices, lots of dried fruit and toasty oak.
Loads of juicy sherry influence, with chocolate-dipped cherries, raisins and a touch of caramel.
Oak spice, dark chocolate praline and oak char.

Boozy and powerful, lots of raisins and sherry and wood, almost oily. Despite the punchy profile it's easy drinking and we got through it rather quicker than anticipated.
If you’re looking for that woody / nuttiness from a sherry cask whisky it’s here, nice bit of warming bite too, a great whisky.
I love sherried whisky and this one doesn't disappoint. Great flavour, cask strength, and another one that I find 'moreish'! (I say that far too often!)
Fantastically clean, and tasty. The sherry is the showman but the wood isn’t completely lost. I usually look for fried fruit tastes, depth and spotted dick or bread pudding richness that a sherry cask often brings. This is clearly lovingly crafted, but if you’re looking for any complexity I think there is better bang for buck elsewhere. The price tag is a tad steep considering that but still an effortlessly easy tipple, sweetness will stop you before anything else.
A great arran at a decent price , many no age statement whiskies are a disgrace to the scotch whisky industry but this is good stuff , very sherried and at very high strength and unchillfiltered it's a shining star in the nas world , a must buy!
