Arran Cote Rotie Cask Finish Island Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Volume: 700ml           ABV: 50%           Age: No Age Statement           Country: Scotland

Brand new for Winter 2019 – a one-off bottling of The Arran Malt finished in a Cote Rotie cask. This is a guest cask finish for 2019 and won’t be available for long.

After initially maturing in traditional oak casks over a number of years The Arran Single Malt in this bottling was ‘finished’ in a selection of Côte-Rôtie wine casks sourced from a quality producer of this red wine from the Rhone Valley

The Arran Master Distiller, James MacTaggart, has carefully monitored this period of secondary maturation to ensure the perfect balance is struck between the Cote Rotie casks and the intrinsic sweet-fruity character of The Arran Malt. The end result is a Single Malt with a decadently fruity, gourmet character, full of complexity and quality.

“What a dram, one for a summer evening or indeed a cosy night in. Great exploration of the cask”.
