Arran Single Malt American Oak BARREL RESERVE 43% vol. 0.7l online kaufen

The Arran Single Malt American Oak BARREL RESERVE 43% is a fresh and approachable single malt Scotch whisky from the Isle of Arran, which showcases the Lochranza Distillery’s characteristic fruity style particularly well. For this bottling, the whisky is matured exclusively in selected American oak bourbon casks, resulting in light fruit aromas combined with vanilla and gentle woody notes. It is produced using traditional methods involving pot-still distillation, whilst the selection of casks is specifically aimed at preserving the natural character of the distillate. The Barrel Reserve is bottled without an age statement and boasts a natural colour derived entirely from cask maturation.

With an alcohol content of 43 per cent, the Arran Barrel Reserve is well-balanced, approachable yet full of character. Typical notes include fresh citrus fruits, green apple and a pleasant vanilla sweetness, complemented by subtle hints of spice and oak, as well as a subtle maritime island character. Maturation exclusively in bourbon casks allows the fruity character of the Arran single malt to really come to the fore. Unlike many of the more robust Arran bottlings, the Barrel Reserve is chill-filtered at 43 per cent, ensuring it remains clear even at lower temperatures. The 0.7-litre bottle is therefore particularly well suited as an accessible introduction to the Arran Single Malts range.

Tasting Note

Colour: Pale gold.

Nose: Fresh and fruity with lemon, other citrus notes and green apple, accompanied by a hint of vanilla and subtle malt.

Palate: Balanced and smooth with vanilla sweetness, apple and citrus fruit, complemented by a hint of cinnamon spice and gentle oak notes.

Finish: Long-lasting and delicate with sweet oak, fruit and a balanced blend of spice and vanilla.

The Arran Single Malt American Oak Barrel Reserve is particularly well suited to being enjoyed neat at around 18 to 20 °C, but can also be served on the rocks thanks to its light and fresh character. Mild Cheddar, toasted almonds or lightly salted nuts complement the vanilla and oak notes well. For desserts, it pairs well with apple tart, lemon pastries, vanilla custard or light caramel creations. The fruity character resulting from bourbon cask maturation is also well preserved in a whisky highball or a classic whisky sour.
