Arran Port Cask Finish

Description

Arran Port Cask Finish Island Single Malt Scotch Whisky (70cl / 50%)

After initially maturing in traditional oak casks for approximately 8 years, The Arran Single Malt in this bottling was finished in a selection of Port casks sourced from an artisan producer of this iconic Portuguese fortified wine. Our Master Distiller, James MacTaggart, has carefully monitored this period of secondary maturation to ensure the perfect balance is struck between the Port casks and the intrinsic sweet-fruity character of The Arran Malt. The end result is a Single Malt full of charm, complexity and quality. A fantastic choice at any time, but particularly for the festive season. Ideal as an after dinner dram, especially with a delicious cheese selection.
