Facts

In 1995, a D-Day veteran named Harold Currie broke ground on a distillery at Lochranza. It was the first legal still on Arran in over 150 years. Water tumbles down from Loch na Davie through six waterfalls before it ever reaches the wash. This single cask sherry expression shows what that water and one well-chosen cask can do. Expect rich raisins & sultanas, dried fig, and a thick vein of dark chocolate through malty, barley-sweet spirit. Nothing here is chill-filtered or coloured, so the character stays exactly as the cask left it. Arran built its reputation on that kind of honesty, cask by cask.

About the Arran Sherry Single Cask

Arran Sherry Single Cask is a single malt Scotch whisky from the Isle of Arran, in Scotland's Island region. Bottled from one sherry cask at a robust 56% ABV, it keeps the spirit's full character intact. Arran Sherry Single Cask carries deep raisins & sultanas and dried fruit notes. Malty barley sweetness and dark chocolate richness round it out. Poured neat, it shows exactly what one sherry-seasoned cask can do to young Arran spirit. The Arran distillery sits at Lochranza, on the island's northern tip, where it was founded in 1995. Harold Currie, a D-Day veteran and former Chivas director, built it there. It was the first legal distillery on Arran in over 150 years. Water for every batch flows down from Loch na Davie, tumbling through six waterfalls before reaching the stills. Arran never adds caramel colouring or chill-filters its whisky, so each cask keeps its own honest character. On the nose, expect fig and dried fruit alongside a wave of malty barley and brown sugar. The palate turns toward honey and milk chocolate, with a peppery edge cutting through the sherry sweetness. Fresh fruit and orange peel brighten the middle, keeping the dram light despite its cask strength. A nutty, floral finish lingers, echoing the raisins & sultanas character sherry casks are prized for. This is a fruity, malty whisky built for slow, patient sipping. Enjoy Arran Sherry Single Cask neat, in a tulip glass, and give it time to open. Cask strength whisky like this rewards patience, revealing new layers as it sits in the glass. Because it comes from a single cask rather than a vatting, no two releases taste quite the same. That makes Arran Sherry Single Cask a favourite among collectors chasing something distinctive from an Island malt. It stands as a fine introduction to the distillery's growing single cask series.
