This Arran Single Malt bottling was fully aged in French oak casks which were previously used to mature red wine from a revered winemaker in the Médoc region north of Bordeaux. This Arran Single Malt has been maturing in these precious oak casks for the past 15 years.

The nose at first whiff there are ripe dark berries with freshly rolled cigars. The gentle tobacco aroma is embraced by the sweetness of vinous sultanas and cassis. The palate is reminiscent of an afternoon tea with chocolate raspberry truffles, candied ginger,scones with clotted cream and orange marmalade and almond & cinnamon croissants. Silky and luscious tannins are a reminder of the elegant wine once contained in these casks.
