Cost
The second edition of Arran’s lauded cask-strength special release. Limited to 6,660 bottles worldwide, it is a vatting of 27 different casks. Seventeen sherry hogsheads (from 1997 or 1998), six unpeated bourbon barrels (from 2002) and four peated bourbon barrels (from 2004). A very exciting expression of one of Scotland’s youngest distilleries.

Tasting Notes
"Aromas of malt, banana and citrus dominate at first, before making way for subtle notes of sweet peat, as well as tobacco and marzipan. The mouthfeel is oily and creamy, with some fresh peat and smoke. Very earthy, but there's also room for ginger, nutmeg and coconut shavings. Citrus fruits, smoke and spices make an appearance in the finish."
