Situated in the Firth of Clyde, the island of Arran was once a hotbed of illicit distillation and smuggling. Eventually though the dreaded Excise men got the best of Arran's renegade stillmen, and the island was without a working distillery from 1837. That all changed in 1995 when the Arran distillery at Lochranza started production.

Although it is a relative youngster, Arran's investment in quality casks has paid dividends, and its popularity continues to soar like the Golden Eagles that nest nearby. This quick success, combined with high visitor numbers at the Lochranza distillery, have enabled the company to construct another distillery at Lagg, on the south of the island, that will focus on creating peated whisky.

Arran has finally come of age. This is the first, limited edition release of its malt at 18 years of age. It forms the last part of a trilogy of 16, 17 and 18 year olds.

Exclusively matured in Sherry hogsheads, this is sweet and spicy.

Cask type: Sherry

46% ABV / 70cl

Bottle Number: One of only 9,000 bottles released
