What it’s like

The entry malt from the Isle of Arran distillery, with no age statement and matured mainly in bourbon casks. It is young, fresh and sweet: vanilla, apple, citrus and cereal, with a touch of spice. It has no smoke. It is a very affordable option for getting to know the Arran style and a good base for highballs and malt whisky cocktails.

Nose
Vanilla, apple and citrus, with cereal and a touch of spice.
Palate
Light and sweet. Fresh fruit, vanilla, malt and soft spice.
Finish
Medium, clean and fresh, with a hint of vanilla and apple.
