Arran 11 Year Old Barrel Bonfire Signature Series Edition 2 Whisky 700ml

With this bottling, we invite you to learn about the more heavily peated side of Arran matured in a Bourbon Barrel.  The peated level of this bottling sits at 42ppm.

The Quarter Casks used in this bottling were sourced from a small distillery in Chicago – Koval - who use these custom built 115 litre casks to mature their Bourbon before they arrive with us in Lochranza.

The whisky in this bottling was originally filled into Bourbon Barrels in 2012. It was matured for nearly 5 and a half years, before being transferred into the Koval Quarter Casks in September 2018, where it spent the remaining 5 and a half years of its maturation time. We filled only a small number of these Quarter Casks and have not filled any more since. As such, they have a very rare place in our inventory.

The Signature Series is second in a four-part limited-edition series.  It is a selection of Arran Single Malts which showcases the diversity of our spirit and embodies the values which are important to us.  It features four unique bottlings specially chosen by Lochranza Distillery Manager Stewart Bowman and given his seal of approval. 

Nose: Hazelnuts coated in caramel. Orange zest and abundant vanilla. Rich dry smoke.

Palate: Rich and smooth. Mouth-watering, oily and complex. Spicy, cinnamon notes mingle with citrus.

Finish: Spice, Citrus, Smoke, Peat, Vanilla, Cinnamon, Smooth, Toasted Oak.
