The Arran Malt 10
Distillery: The Arran Distillery
Expression: The Arran Malt (10 years)
Category: Single Malt Scotch
Region: Island
ABV: 46%
The Arran has an extremely light color because it’s non-chill filtered.
Yet looks can be deceiving, as the Arran 10 is mature beyond its years in many ways.
However a few rowdy grain notes and bursting fruit flavors are a reminder that this young whippersnapper ain’t over-the-hill.
All in all, the Arran 10 is a solid entry level single malt.
Although it’s not exceptional by any means it probably won’t do anything to turn you off.
