Arran 11 Year Old 2013 Ex-Sherry Butt #1728

Arran Distillery releases an exclusive single malt available exclusively through Milroy's of Soho. Distilled in 2013, this 11-year-old Island Scotch has matured in ex-sherry butt #1728, with only 310 bottles produced, making it a coveted addition for collectors and whisky enthusiasts.

Bottled at 59.6% ABV, this expression showcases the rich, complex character that ex-sherry cask maturation imparts. It's part of a distinctive trio of three 11-year-old Arrans from the same distillation year—each matured in different cask types: this sherry expression, an ex-bourbon variant, and a peated release. Tasting all three side-by-side reveals the profound influence of cask type and the power of peat on the final spirit.

The nose presents fresh fruit, citrus, vanilla, and honey, while the palate delivers caramel, oak, peppery notes, and dried spices. The finish lingers with toffee, oak, and pepper. This is a whisky for those seeking authentic Island character enhanced by quality sherry cask maturation.
