A Quarter Century on the Isle of Arran
Isle of Arran Distillers bottled its first 25-year-old in 2021, marking a genuine milestone for a distillery that only filled its first casks in 1995. Each annual release is small — 3,000 bottles for the whole planet — and the sherry-hogshead finish gives the quarter-century of oak a dark, fruit-cake polish.

Tasting Notes
Distillery notes: rich oak, gentle nutmeg, baked ripe figs, sultanas, and black cherries on the nose; fruit cake, toasted almonds, cinnamon, orange and mandarin zest, manuka honey, muscovado sugar, baked apricots, and white pepper on the palate; creamy and spicy on the finish with dark chocolate, walnuts, and dark fruit compote.
How to Enjoy
Neat, always, with still water on the side for the drinker's control. A 25-year-old whisky isn't a cocktail ingredient — give it a proper Glencairn and time.
