Arran 1996 Single Sherry Cask 26 Year Old #877

Volume: 700ml / ABV: 48.5%

Although the Isle of Arran was once a hot-bed of distilling activity, there were no distilleries on the island for the majority of the 19th and 20th centuries. Isle of Arran Distillers opened their first distillery in 1995, and it quickly became a firm favourite. They bottled its first single malt in 1998, a limited edition 3 year old in a glass decanter. The distillery also produced a peated single malt called Machrie Moor, however an experimental second distillery on the other side of the island, called Lagg, is now the site of all the company’s peated production. As of 2019, the distillery was renamed Lochranza, however its single malt brand is still known by the old name, Arran.

This whisky was distilled on 5th August 1996 and aged in single first-fill ex-Sherry cask #877 for 26 years. It was bottled on 22nd August 2022 and made exclusive to the United Kingdom.
