Arran Barrel Reserve Single Malt Whisky [700ML]

Description

Looking for an approachable yet authentic Scottish single malt that showcases the Isle of Arran’s distinctive character without breaking the bank?

As a certified spirits specialist, I’m pleased to present the Arran Barrel Reserve Single Malt Whisky, a premium expression that exemplifies accessible luxury. This non-chill filtered whisky represents the Isle of Arran Distillery’s commitment to quality craftsmanship, delivering remarkable complexity at an honest price point. Unlike the more specialized Arran Sauternes Cask or the distinctive Arran Port Cask finish, this Barrel Reserve focuses on traditional bourbon barrel maturation for a balanced, crowd-pleasing profile.

• Distillery: Isle of Arran Distillery (est. 1995) – Scotland’s newest island distillery
• Region: Isle of Arran, Scotland – known for maritime influences and pure water sources
• ABV: 40% – approachable strength highlighting natural sweetness and fruit notes
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: Traditional bourbon barrel aging for vanilla and caramel development
• Tasting Notes: Nose reveals fresh orchard fruits with honey and vanilla. Palate offers creamy vanilla custard, citrus zest, and subtle oak spice. Finish is smooth and gently sweet with lingering malt
• Best Served: Neat in a tulip glass at room temperature, or with a splash of water to open aromatics

Our spirits specialists at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store have found this expression particularly versatile for both newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts. After evaluating countless single malts, the Barrel Reserve stands out for its exceptional value-to-quality ratio and consistently pleasant drinking experience.

Ideal for: Weekend relaxation, introducing friends to Scottish single malts, or casual celebrations. Pairs with: Rich Malaysian cuisine including char siu pork, salted egg prawns, or dark chocolate desserts.
