ARRAN Sauternes Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl 50%

The Arran Sauternes Cask Finish is a beautifully indulgent single malt that marries the vibrant island spirit of Lochranza Distillery with the luxurious sweetness of French Sauternes wine casks. After an initial eight years in traditional oak, the whisky is transferred to a selection of carefully sourced Sauternes casks, adding layers of honeyed fruit, floral richness and tropical depth. Bottled at 50%, non chill-filtered and presented with natural colour, this expression offers a sumptuous balance of sweetness, spice and coastal freshness.
