Arran 16 year old
Review by Arran
- Colour
Golden Syrup.
- Nose
Rich, lush honey with hints of ginger and dark chocolate.
- Palate
Glides over the tongue in a glorious wave of sweetness & spice. Crème brûlée at first followed by bitter orange and charred oak.
- Finish
Long & lingering – Arran is showing its decadent side at sweet sixteen.

This Limited Edition release of The Arran Malt at 16 Years Old has been produced from un-peated malted barley and matured in a combination of the finest ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks. The whisky has not been artificially coloured and has not been chill-filtered at bottling thus retaining the full range of aromas and flavours which typify this unique Island Single Malt. Only 9,000 bottles of The Arran Malt 16 Years Old have been released worldwide. This bottling marks the countdown to the launch of The Arran Malt 18 Years Old. In Spring 2014 we will release an edition at 17 Years Old to be followed by the 18 Years Old First Edition in Spring 2015.
