The Arran 17 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The reason the distillery was built here, says James MacTaggart, the master distiller at Arran Distillery, was because there was a very good water supply. In fact, it was tasted and it was decided that it was probably one of the best water supplies in Scotland for making whisky. Situated on the Isle of Arran, Arran Distillery was founded in 1994 by Harold Currie, the former director at Chivas Distillery, and is one of the last remaining independent distilleries in Scotland. When the distillery was finally completed in 1995 construction was halted for nearly a year when a pair of Golden Eagles built their nest near the distillery it became the first legal distillery on the Isle of Arran in over 150 years. Arran 17 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is the second limited edition release in a trilogy series leading up to Arran's permanent 18 year old expression; to date Arran 17 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is the oldest whisky released by the Arran Distillery. The whisky is made from unpeated Scottish barley, which is malted and then fermented using a proprietary strain of yeast. Once the barley has been fermented, the wash is distilled twice first through Arran's copper-pot wash still and then again through Arran's copper-pot spirit still. The stills were custom designed, says MacTaggart, and 'shaped to allow the lighter vapors to come up through the stills. As a result, Arran Single Malt Scotch Whisky has an appreciably softer and more delicate flavor profile. Arran 17 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is matured exclusively in ex-sherry butts for a minimum of 17 years before being bottled at the distillery at 92 proof. Selecting the right cask, knowing when that cask should be opened or left to mature for a little longer or adding a specific cask finish to enhance the flavor are gifts it takes generations to perfect, says MacTaggart. The whisky has a mesmerizing aroma of burnt orange, rich milk chocolate and clove honey. The palate is zesty with notes of caramelized sugar and pecans, and leads to a full-bodied and lasting finish accented by licorice, marshmallow and cola.
