Arran Single Malt American Oak BARREL RESERVE 43% Vol. 0,7l

The Arran Single Malt American Oak BARREL RESERVE 43% is a fresh and approachable single malt Scotch whiskey from the Isle of Arran that particularly highlights the Lochranza Distillery’s characteristic fruity style. For this bottling, the whisky is matured exclusively in selected American oak bourbon barrels, resulting in light fruit aromas combined with vanilla and gentle woody notes. It is produced using traditional methods, including pot-still distillation, while the cask selection is specifically designed to preserve the natural character of the distillate. The Barrel Reserve is bottled without an age statement and features a natural color derived exclusively from cask maturation.

With an alcohol content of 43%, the Arran Barrel Reserve is well-balanced, approachable, and yet full of character. Typical notes include fresh citrus fruits, green apple, and a pleasant vanilla sweetness, complemented by subtle spice and oak notes as well as a subtle maritime island character. Maturation exclusively in bourbon barrels allows the fruity character of the Arran single malt to shine through. Unlike many of Arran’s bolder bottlings, the Barrel Reserve is chill-filtered at 43%, ensuring it remains clear even at lower temperatures. The 0.7-liter bottle is therefore particularly well-suited as an easy introduction to the Arran Single Malt range.
