Arran 2006/2024 18 Year Premium Cask Refill Oloroso Hogshead Single Island Malt Scotch Whisky 53.6%

Only one cask of this 18-year-old Premium Cask edition exists, and the entire batch has stayed in Denmark. That's the kind of exclusivity that makes collectors take notice.

Another demonstration of how much difference a single refill sherry cask can make after eighteen years.
