Arran 2009 Saint Émilion (Netherlands Exclusive)
In the last year or so I’ve tasted quite a few wine-influenced whiskies — and I enjoyed them more than I expected. This Arran is an exception.
Arran 1998 20 Years Old (Whiskybroker.co.uk)
Rather a good, well-matured Arran that was an absolute steal at its original price.
Arran 12 Years – Master of Distilling II (2019)
A successor to the popular first edition of Arran’s Master of Distilling series, this single malt matured in Palo Cortado casks.
Arran 5 Years & Port Charlotte 10 Years (Fisherman’s Retreat)
Two exotic wine-matured whiskies, a 5yo Arran and 10yo Port Charlotte. While I find wine cask maturation is more often miss than hit, I actually enjoyed both of these!
Arran Waltz, Tango & Foxtrot (2017)
In The Netherlands almost all the single cask releases from Isle of Arran Distillery have a cutesy name nowadays. One of the latest examples is a trio of Arran whiskies released at the same time, the Waltz, Tango and Foxtrot. Do you get it? Well, do you? DO YOU?
Arran 1999 14 Years Old SMWS 121.68
This being bottling by the SMWS, it has a cutesy name: Harvesting Fruit on an Indian Summer’s Day. I guess this means I’m in for a fruity dram, perfect for a summer day. I don’t know what is up with the Indian though.
