Arran – 1995 Single Cask #104 For Open Day 2011 (70cl, 52%)

Arran – 1995 Single Cask #104 For Open Day 2011 is a whisky from Arran (Islands). Aged 14 years, bottled at 52% ABV, 70cl. Situated in the Firth of Clyde, the island of Arran was once a hotbed of illicit distillation and smuggling. Eventually though the dreaded Excise men got the best of Arran’s renegade stillmen, and the island was without a working distillery from 1837. That all changed in 1995 when the Arran distillery at Lochranza started production. Although it is a relative youngster, Arran’s investment in quality casks has paid dividends, and its popularity continues to soar like the Golden Eagles that nest nearby. This quick success, combined with high visitor numbers at the Lochranza distillery, have enabled the company to construct another distillery at Lagg, on the south of the island, that will focus on creating peated whisky. This single cask release was for the Arran Open Day in 2011, the cask having been selected by attendees at the previous year’s open day.
