Arran 15 Year Old Rare Batch, French Oak, Argonne

The extremely rare casks in this bottling were sourced from the Argonne Forest in the north-east of France. They were previously used to mature still wines from a traditional winemaker based near the village of Ay. Their Arran Single Malt has been maturing in these precious oak casks for the past 15 years.

Limited edition of 3,060 bottles.

Tasting Notes:
Nose: A warm spring day in the garden. Gentle cedar oak and a touch of sandalwood and incense with a sweet contrast of freshly squeezed white grapes, sweet pink lady apple and orange blossom.

Palate: A sparkling, oily texture enhanced and complimented by the higher alcohol volume. It’s picnic time with trays of honeyed fruits, sweet vanilla and orange cake with a touch of nutmeg, warm brioche buns and mango puree.

Finish: Warm spices, oak tannins and mandarin liqueur.
