Arran Tokaji Aszu Wine Cask Finish 2007
Although the Isle of Arran was once a hot-bed of distilling activity, there were no distilleries on the island for the majority of the 19th and 20th centuries. Isle of Arran Distillers opened their first distillery in 1995, and it quickly became a firm favourite. They bottled its first single malt in 1998, a limited edition 3 year old in a glass decanter. The distillery also produced a peated single malt called Machrie Moor, however an experimental second distillery on the other side of the island, called Lagg, is now the site of all the company’s peated production. As of 2019, the distillery was renamed Lochranza, however its single malt brand is still known by the old name, Arran.
This limited edition Arran single malt was released in 2007. The whisky spent 8 years in traditional oak casks before being transferred to a selection of Tokaji Aszu wine casks for 7 months. Isle of Arran Distillers sourced the Hungarian oak barriques directly from producers in Hungary, where they held the wine regarded as "King of Wines" for three years.
