Arran 21 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl
Brand: Arran | Category: Single Malt Scotch Whisky | ABV: 46% | Origin: Isle of Arran, Scotland | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile:
Nose: A luxurious wave of dark chocolate, honeyed figs, and orange zest, underpinned by roasted nuts and gentle oak spice. It’s like stepping into an old study lined with polished wood and leather-bound books.
Palate: Silky and full-bodied, unfolding with layers of toffee, dried apricot, and spiced oak. There’s a deep sherry sweetness balanced by malt warmth and a touch of citrus brightness that keeps it lively.
Finish: Long and resonant, notes of cocoa, cinnamon, and orange marmalade linger, fading slowly into a warm, nutty embrace.

Production Details:
Matured for over two decades in a combination of ex-sherry and bourbon casks, the Arran 21 showcases the distillery’s signature unpeated style, pure, natural, and non-chill filtered. The slow aging on the island, with its temperate sea air and shifting weather, lends a complexity that only time can create. Every bottle represents the peak of Arran’s house style: bright island fruit wrapped in mature sherry richness.

Perfect For:
A quiet evening where reflection meets reward. Best enjoyed neat, perhaps after dinner, as the room fills with soft music and conversation. It’s a whisky that deserves your full attention, an experience, not just a drink.

Expert Notes:
The Arran 21 has been celebrated by whisky critics for its depth and balance, often described as “a masterclass in island whisky.” It captures the best of both worlds: the liveliness of youth and the grace of age. A true collector’s piece and a connoisseur’s delight.

Customer Reviews:
“Exceptional. The perfect balance between sherry richness and island freshness.”
“Every sip feels like a story, sweet, mature, and endlessly smooth.”
“This bottle defines elegance. Worth every moment of its 21 years.”

Interesting Fact:
The Arran Distillery was the first legal distillery on the island in over 150 years when it opened in 1995. Its success reignited Arran’s centuries-old whisky heritage, once lost to illicit stills and forgotten glens.

Serving Suggestions:
Enjoy neat in a tulip glass to fully appreciate its aroma and texture. A few drops of water can open up hidden layers of spice and fruit, revealing its full symphony of flavor.

With a commitment to natural production, no coloring, no chill filtration, Arran captures the essence of true island whisky-making. Every release reflects its environment: pure water, clean air, and the quiet rhythm of the sea that shapes its soul.
