TheArran18YearOld(700mL)

<p>Arran 18 returns as a fully-fledged member of their core range with a a luscious, decadent palate and finish.</p><p><em>Harold Currie</em> was a senior director <em>Chivas</em>. He somehow got it in his head that he could do Whisky better. Harold was also a fan of the <em>Isle of Arran</em> — an island in the middle of the Firth of Clyde which had at one time been home to at least<em> fifty illegal distilleries.</em> So he saved his pennies, took on a few investors, and broke ground on his dream in <em>1994 </em>on the island near the town of Lochranza. But two golden eagles built a nest on site and construction had to be stopped until the chicks were fully fledged. Solid move, right? Today, they produce a tidy range of Single Malt offerings, limited editions, special blends, and a Scottish cream Liqueur.</p><p>Turns out good old Harold COULD do it better.</p><p>Arran initially released the eighteen year version as a limited edition… you know, a little PR to get some attention. But the release <em>sold out</em> so quickly that it got the team’s attention. And the Arran fans can be remarkably persistent and persuasive. So, they have added it to the core range. <em>Arran 18 Year Old</em> is their signature Single Malt matured to voting age in<em> ex-Sherry casks</em> and bottled at a perfect<em> 46%</em> ABV. Simple, pure, gorgeous.</p>
