Nose... Initially a very brief but extremely nicely flavoured slight sherry, Christmas cake note but immediately followed by overwhelming smell of pure alcohol or vodka. Palate: Loads of juicy sherry influence, with chocolate-dipped cherries, raisins and a touch of caramel.

I already mentioned the Arran Sherry Cask while reviewing its bourbon counterpart called Arran Barrel Reserve. It is part of duo that has no age statement and no fancy finish either – it is meant to express the cask influence of bourbon and sherry.

I quite like this. It's interesting in that it displays some really well executed balanced. Nice work, Arran.

Aged exclusively in sherry hogsheads, this new expression in Arran's portfolio after their recent redesign. Bottled at cask strength without coloring or filtering, this should be an interesting one to try. Let's dive in. Based on the tasting notes I was looking forward to trying this but unfortunately the sample was a major disappointment. Not bad for it's price but defenetely too young and not well balancied. Defenetely overrated for me. If you consider this one as an entry into sherry cask world it is not the best choise - you will get the wrong impression.

It also didn’t help Arran’s case that they intended to sell single malt rather than make the wiser and more practical decision of bottling blends, or selling their whisky for use in blends. After all, other than a few distilleries that sold single malts like Glenfiddich, Glenmorangie, and those that were part of Diageo’s classic malts, blends were largely the way by which many distilleries survived during that time. Yet another contradiction in Arran’s history. No partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship is created as a result of your use of the Service.
