ARRAN - 22 years old - Vintage 2001 - Bourbon Barrel - Foundations - 46.40%
The Arran Malt is a single malt distillery located on the Isle of Arran , on the west coast of Scotland . It produces a variety of whiskies with a range of different expressions and finishes. The distillery was built in 1995 on the northern part of the island in Lochranza and near Loch na Davie , the source of Arran's water. The grist (the ground grain to which boiling water is added to form the mash) was originally purchased, but a mill has now been installed. Arran Malt is known for its fresh, tart character, which may be a result of the slow distillation rate of the stills.
This Arran expression comes from a Single Cask ( #2001/867) selected by the La Maison du Whisky team. It was distilled on December 13, 2001 and then aged for 22 years in ex-Bourbon casks . It was bottled on July 4, 2024 and 143 bottles were produced.
