Arran – 1996 27 Year Old Claxton’s (70cl, 50.4%)

Arran – 1996 27 Year Old Claxton’s is a whisky from Arran (Islands). Aged 27 years, bottled at 50.4% ABV, 70cl. Founded in 2015, Claxton’s is an independent bottler of unique whiskies and spirits. They also have a core whisky range that includes Warehouse No.1, Warehouse No.8, Exploration Series and Grain Barn. With original stone barns and grain stores dating back as far as the 1800s, an extensive restoration project, in partnership with the Dalswinton Estate has been undertaken at Claxton’s Dalswinton Bond to bring the buildings at Sandbed back into full use. The extra effort proved very much worth it, resulting in traditional dunnage-style warehousing alongside more modern racked facilities, perfect for both long-term and short-term whisky maturation in a beautiful Scottish countryside environment. Quality-focused and deliberately selected, the casks used at Dalswinton Bond are sourced globally from specialist producers with as much care and attention as the spirit that fills them. Variety and individuality are at the forefront when combining spirit and wood for maturation, and every shape, size, and type of cask is used for a specific reason.
