Arran’s character is typically clean and fruity, with citrus, orchard fruit and sweet malt notes developing greater richness and complexity with extended maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 26-year-old Arran was matured in a single refill butt, yielding just 306 bottles at a natural cask strength of 51.9%. As with Douglas Laing’s XOP releases, it was bottled without colouring or chill filtration. A rare opportunity to try exceptionally mature whisky from the formative years of Arran Distillery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDouglas Laing's Tasting Notes:\u003cbr\u003e“The nose delivers caramel and vanilla, all on the palate, malt, apples and white pineapple.
