Arran Founders Reserve Distillery Exclusive (1995) 70cl

The very first Arran for the Arran Founders.
Distillery Exclusive bottling

This was bottled exclusively for the owners / bond holders of the Distillery back in 2001, and as it was their first ever single malt is now very collectable.

Tasting Notes 

Nose : light and delicate with custard cream biscuits, vanilla ice cream and tropical fruit freshness, lemon icing and cereal notes.

Palate : White chocolate panna cotta with notes of spiced tropical fruit (especially pineapple) custard danish pastries, vanillin oak.

Finish : Buttery shortbread, pineapple chunks, vanilla custard, white chocolate, aromatic spices. A youthful Arran that has all the flavours that we have come to love at 10 years and more, good to try this distillery as it was developing a style of its own and lots going on here for one so young.

About Arran

The Isle of Arran has played host to many distilleries, mostly illicit and the last legal distillery closed in 1835. What is surprising is that it took until 1995 for a still to run again as the Arran distillery at Lochranza came online. Financed mostly by Harold Currie who had retired from Chivas, the team also sought investment from 2000 investors who gave up £450 for a share of future whiskies. Many of whom turned up for the official opening, including a descendent of the last person to be killed on Arran for distilling illegally. Since the initial days, Arran distillery has prospered thanks to an array of cask types and special editions. The whisky, in time, has come of age and growing demand meant an expansion in 2017, with a new pair of stills. Things went even further in 2019 when a second distillery (Lagg) was established at the southern end of Arran.
