Isle of Arran
add a 21 year old expression to their
core range
The Isle of Arran distillery has
unveiled there latest and oldest
expression
of single malt whisky to join its core
range to date, the Arran 21 Year Old.
Matured in a combination of ex-Bourbon
and ex-Sherry casks before
being bottled at 46% ABV, non
chill-filtered and naturally coloured.
In-keeping with Arran's now traditional
style, this particular expression is
described as being rich and sweet and
with initial flavours of dark chocolate,
grapefruit and ginger, before giving way
to a lasting finish of soft spices and
figs creating a warm and memorable dram.
Long serving Master Distiller at The
Isle of Arran Distillers, James
MacTaggart, commented on the new
expression: "We’re extremely proud to
have produced a dram that showcases our
traditional Arran style, while the
extended maturation process adds an
extra elegance and complexity.
"I’m sure that the ever-growing
community of Arran Malt lovers will be
able to taste an elevated version of the
whisky that they’ve come to know and
enjoy.
"It’s an immensely exciting time for the
company and the island, with the release
of this 21 year-old bottle and looking
forward to the completion of the new
Lagg distillery next year."
The box the new 21 year old is presented
in states that it is a "First Release
Limited Edition 9,000 Bottles" which may
make it more attractive to the fans of
the distillery and collectors amongst
you.
The Arran 21 Year Old has a RRP of £115
and is
now available from specialist online
whisky retailers such as

Producer's Tasting Notes:
Nose: Dark chocolate with hints of sweet spice.
Taste:
Grapefruit and ginger, followed by ripe
figs, prunes and dark chocolate with
vanilla and roasted orange peel. A
luscious sensory delight.
Finish:
Long, warming and memorable. Hints of
soft spices and roasted hazelnuts
compliment beautifully the hallmark
Arran citrus flavour. A perfect
demonstration of the complexity afforded
by a well-aged Arran expression.
