Arran, Madeira Cask, ‘Cask Finish’, Single Malt Scotch Whisky

700 ml, 50% abv, Scotland (Island)

After initially maturing in traditional oak casks over a number of years This Arran Single Malt was ‘finished’ in a selection of Madeira wine casks sourced from an artisan producer of this fortified wine from the island of Madeira some 800km south-west of Portugal. Master Distiller, James MacTaggart, has carefully monitored this period of secondary maturation to ensure the perfect balance is struck between the Madeira casks and the intrinsic sweet-fruity character of The Arran Malt.

“rich brooding character, full of complexity and quality”
