What should malt whisky taste of... Malt? This one certainly does! My first encounter with this distillery was somewhat premature. I was a first year undergrad on a geology field trip to Arran and one of the excursions took us past the Lochranza distillery, but it must have been newly opened at the time as it was quite a few years ago. I get three main themes off the nose, malt, fruit and alcohol. The later is somewhat unusual from a malt, it’s the aroma that’s more obvious off cheap vodka. The fruits I get are apples, pears and apricots, there is also a touch of smoke in the mix too. On the west coast of the Isle of Arran lies a windswept and mystical peat bog called Machrie Moor. Bronze Age stone circles and standing stones are strewn across its barren, undulating terrain. One of the stone circles is known as Fingal’s Cauldron Seat, where sits a stone with a carved hole. The legendary warrior giant Fingal is said to have tethered his favourite dog Bran to this stone. This peated expression of the Arran Single Malt perfectly captures the rugged beauty and lore of the landscape. Unleash the legend that is Machrie Moor.

Very Sweet. a great starter Scotch for the Young palates out there. Honey, Citrus, chewy fruit. Really a very well balanced Whisky for one so young.

How can a whisky be as fruity and yet as powerful in your throat (not smooth). I’m not a friend of fruity whiskies so my points should not be taken seriously, if you’re a “fruit lover”. And I’m not saying this is a bad whisky. On the contrary, this is very rich and versatile. I wouldn’t buy a bottle of this in my cabinet again but I can honestly recommend this for everyone as a sample. The right word for Arran 10 is interesting.

The taste is vanilla sweet with a slight salty smokiness - fruity, even slight notes of chocolate. Just enough spice to leave your mouth and lips tingling. Very warm, even hot - and quite smooth. Frankly, it’s hard for me to believe I hadn’t sampled this one before, but it makes me very excited, not only to sample the rest of the Arran lineup but to see just how many other gems are still out there to be discovered. In the meantime, I’ve got to find a bottle of this one, as it will become my go-to “if you’ve never really tried scotch, you should try this” selection.

Bought a bottleof the Arran 10 yr a little over a year ago...Thought it was alright, but certainly not worthy of Ralfy's score of 89. Amid closures and overproduction, you’d think the last thing any investor would do would be to open a new whisky distillery in Scotland, never mind opening one on the Isle of Arran. At this stage in the 1990s, no one really anticipated the boom we are currently experiencing. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. Sharp and clean on the tongue. Nice sweetness on a good body. Wood and grapes again. Apple and sweet vanilla on a second sip. Yes that's it: It's like the best vanilla ice cream ever! And I use to work in an old school ice cream parlour, so I should know.Browse All Scotch (882) Customer Favourites On Sale (15) Staff Favourite 5 Scotch Brands A-Z RWM Exclusives (22) Drammers Reward (4) Old & Rare Whiskies (103) Closed Distilleries (32) Limited Edition (120) Miniatures (32) The Best Sitcoms on Netflix Right Now (October 2023) By Garrett Martin and Paste Staff October 20, 2023 | 12:00pm This bottle of Arran 10 Year Old is an official bottling which was produced in the Islands region of Scotland by Isle of Arran Distillers.
