Arran White Stag 20 Year Old Second Release Limited Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: An intriguing mix of cherries, orange marmalade and honey cake, the nose triggers nostalgia for Hogmanay on Arran. The Arran character still shines through with lighter fruits and delicate floral jasmine notes.

Palate: Creamy and complex with vanilla and sprinkles of sweet spice – cinnamon and nutmeg. Dark chocolate begins to emerge with cherries and figs giving a vibrant and luxurious mouthfeel. Water adds a layer of fresh fruit, with tropical notes of melon and banana in the background.

Finish: A sensory delight, it is long lasting and rich. More fruity than sweet, the dark chocolate, cherries and orange are ever present. This is a bold dram, edgy without regret, and like our White Stag, a robust and powerful creature.

Distillery Information

The distillery is situated to the East of the village of Lochranza at the North of the island and takes its water from the Loch na Davie. Founded in 1993, by Chivas Brothers retiring managing director, Harold Currie, the distillery is the only one on the Isle of Arran since the most recent legally run distillery, Lagg, was closed in 1837. Mr Currie stylized the buildings with the intention of giving them a much more traditional, classic appearance. During the early stages of building, work was briefly interrupted when a pair of Golden Eagles, nesting in the crags above the distillery, tended to their young. The eagles can be seen, to this day, from the courtyard at the distillery. Production began on the 17th August 1995. A year later and a one year old was released, of course not technically a whisky, it was released as Arran 1 Year Old Spirit, and showed great promise for a spirit still in its proverbial adolescence. The core expressions include a ten year old, officially released in 2006, and a cask-strength, the ominously named 100 Proof. Yearly single cask special editions are released, finished in either sherry or bourbon butts. Some interesting finishes have also been released, including a Bordeaux, a port and a Calvados.
