This Rare Batch Arran was filled into bourbon casks on 14 October 2009. After seven years it was transferred on 25 July 2017 into French Grand Cru white wine casks, where it matured for a further eight years; those casks had previously held white wines from north-eastern France.
The 2025 edition, released for the 30th anniversary, was bottled at 52.5% ABV. It has its natural colour and is not chill-filtered, and is presented in a tube.
Its aroma range runs from apple, orange peel and other citrus notes through vanilla and brioche to dark chocolate, cherry and oak, with a full, oily texture carrying the fruity and woody character into the long finish.
Tasting Notes
Arran's typical apple aromas with a pronounced orange peel note; lively spritzy citrus fruits alongside sweetly scented oak.
Orange peel and bitter citrus fruits in abundant fullness; oily and full-bodied, rich, with only light vanilla brioche and dark chocolate.
Many citrus notes linger in the long aftertaste while oak becomes increasingly clear; the oily texture remains perceptible throughout the mouth, with subtle traces of dark chocolate and maraschino cherries.
