Description

The Arran Explorers Series is a collection of limited edition expressions of The Arran
Single Malt. Each edition celebrates the outstanding scenic beauty and diversity of nature on the Isle of Arran.
To the west of the island you will pass through the pretty coastal village of
Blackwaterfoot. North of the village, the main road leaves the coast for a few miles and bypasses Drumadoon Point. The scenery of the headland is breathtaking with a raised beach and dramatic cliffs formed from basalt columns.

Drumadoon Point is home to Shiskine Golf Club, a unique 12-hole golf course regarded by many as one of the finest in the UK. Slightly to the North of the course, its impressive cliffs on the seaward side protect the remains of the largest Iron Age fort on Arran. For the walker, the terrain is diverse. Sandy beach, grassy footpaths and large boulders make it a beautiful piece of coastline to explore. This view across Shiskine Golf Course towards
Drumadoon Point is best appreciated with a dram of Arran Single Malt in hand.

This particular expression has been maturing for the last 23 years in ex Sherry Puncheons sourced directly from Jerez from a respected small producer who shares our values.
The resulting whisky perfectly captures the impressive and dramatic scenery of this part of the island. Take your senses on an adventure around the Isle of Arran.

TASTING NOTES:
Nose: A burst of sweet apple with an underlying maltiness – a classic expression of well-aged Arran. The sweet notes linger and are enriched by baked pastry and a dusting of icing sugar (think Apple Strudel).
Rich and nutty in the background, bringing
to life the influence of the casks used.

Palate: An initial wave of sweetness followed by spice; Spiced apple, cocoa powder and star anise. Flavours of dark chocolate and raisins also start to develop, creating a beautiful balance between Arran’s signature style and sherry cask maturation.

Finish: A long and warming finish, reflecting the sweetness and spice found on nose and palate. A dram that will leave you wanting to pour another!
