ISLE OF ARRAN DISTILLERS COMES OF AGE WITH LAUNCH OF 18 YEAR OLD SINGLE MALT

Award-winning Scotch whisky producer Isle of Arran Distillers has announced the limited release of its coming of age 18 Year Old single malt.

Since its founding 20 years ago, the Isle of Arran Distillery has been laying uniquely complex malts down to mature. This latest edition is the final bottling in a trilogy of 16, 17 and 18 year-old Arran Malts which have been released in the count down to this landmark bottling.

Arran 18 Year Old - Limited to 9,000 Bottles

Aged in the finest Sherry casks, the Arran 18 Year Old (46% ABV) is an un-peated malt that is a perfect example of the fresh character of Arran in all its maturity. Gold in colour and with a delicious aroma of toasted almonds, honey and spice, this highly anticipated bottling delivers a luxurious palate of ginger and caramelised brown sugar.

Commenting on the new release, Master Distiller, James MacTaggart, said: “This is a very special bottling for us, not only being the most mature Arran Malt yet but as the first release in our our twentieth year. It represents the very best of our whisky, with the depth of aroma and flavour for which Arran Malts have become known around the world.”

Limited to just 9,000 bottles, the Arran 18 Year Old will be available from specialist retailers from March 16th.
