Arran 15 Year Old French Oak Grand Cru Hogshead Single Island Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 52.5%

Arran 15 Year Old French Oak Grand Cru is a rare and refined release from the Lochranza Distillery, created as part of their exclusive Rare Batch series. This limited edition single malt has been matured in French oak casks from northeastern France, previously used for exceptional Grand Cru wines. The exact origin remains a secret – but perhaps you can guess?

The whisky begins its journey with seven years in bourbon casks before being transferred to Grand Cru casks for an additional eight years of maturation. This dual ageing process creates a remarkable balance between ripe fruit, vinous depth and sweet spicy richness, elevating Arran’s elegant house style to new heights.

The nose offers seductive notes of honey, brioche, ripe apples and white flowers. The palate is creamy and gently wine-like, with hints of fresh citrus, vanilla and almond. The finish is long and rounded, revealing layers of oak, citrus, dark chocolate and maraschino cherry.

With only 4,198 bottles produced worldwide, this is a truly special release where Scotland and France meet in perfect harmony. Bottled at 52.5%, non-chill filtered and with natural colour – a whisky with maximum depth and character in every drop. A dram for those who appreciate finesse, complexity and the art of exceptional cask selection.
