Arran 14 Year Old
Brand: Arran | Category: Island Single Malt Scotch | ABV: 46% | Origin: Isle of Arran, Scotland | Vol: 70cl

Intro/Heritage:
The Arran 14 is where island purity meets Highland complexity. It’s the kind of dram that doesn’t shout, but sings, a whisky shaped by sea air, mountain spring water, and a quiet island rhythm. Matured just long enough to speak with depth, but still bright with character, it’s a whisky that marks the moment when a good bottle becomes unforgettable.

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Like biting into a poached pear drizzled with honey, floral, fruity, and fresh with whispers of toasted almond and citrus oil.
Palate: Silky yet structured. Notes of stewed apples, rich malt, cinnamon spice, and a touch of dark chocolate. The texture is luscious and layered, like velvet over oak.
Finish: Long, clean, and satisfying. A balance of gentle spice, orange peel, and fading sweetness. It leaves a final note of elegance.

Production Details:
Aged in a mix of first-fill bourbon and sherry casks, non-chill filtered and bottled at 46%, this is where Arran's natural beauty becomes liquid. No additives. No shortcuts. Just patient island maturation in one of Scotland’s few remaining independently owned distilleries.

Perfect For:
Best shared in golden hour, on balconies, in deep conversations, or paired with quiet jazz. It’s a whisky for those who’ve outgrown the obvious and are ready to explore the layers.

Expert Notes:
Arran 14 has been quietly gathering acclaim from whisky lovers and critics alike. Often called one of the best value single malts in its age range, it bridges the gap between youthful zest and mature depth. A true connoisseur’s sleeper pick.

Customer Reviews:
🗨️ “Incredibly balanced. Sweet, spicy, smooth — just a joy to drink.”
🗨️ “Feels like a hidden gem. Doesn’t shout, but stays with you.”
🗨️ “My go-to ‘I need a moment’ whisky. Always delivers.”

Interesting Fact:
Arran is one of the few distilleries that sources its water from Loch na Davie — a mountain loch untouched by agriculture or industry. The result? Remarkable purity in every drop.

Serving Suggestions:
Sip neat to savor the full structure. Add a few drops of water to coax out more orchard fruit and spice. This is not a whisky for ice, let it evolve slowly in your glass.

Distillery Background:
The Arran Distillery in Lochranza revived whisky-making on the island in 1995 after a 160-year hiatus. Since then, it’s become a beacon of independent Scotch craft, producing whiskies that reflect both the rugged beauty and refined spirit of their island home.
