Arran 1997 Single Cask #459 Malt & Music Festival 2016

From the Isle of Arran, a landscape steeped in a history of illicit distilling, comes this single cask whisky distilled in 1997 when the island’s legal production resumed after a 150-year absence. Matured for nearly two decades in a sherry hogshead (cask #459), this 50.3% ABV expression captures the spirit of Arran’s revival. Expect a rich and complex flavour profile, hinting at the island’s rugged beauty and the influence of its sherry cask maturation. Bottled in 2016 as part of the Malt & Music Festival, this whisky offers a taste of a distillery quickly gaining renown for its quality and character.
