Arran Sauternes Cask Single Malt Whisky [700ML]

Description

Looking for a single malt whisky that combines Scottish craftsmanship with the honeyed elegance of French winemaking?

As a certified spirits specialist at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store, I’m consistently impressed by how Arran Sauternes Cask Single Malt Whisky delivers exceptional complexity at an accessible price point. This Premium expression showcases the distillery’s innovative approach to cask finishing, where traditional Scotch maturation meets the luscious influence of Sauternes dessert wine casks. Unlike the robust character of Arran Port Cask Single Malt Whisky or the balanced profile of Arran Barrel Reserve Single Malt Whisky, this Sauternes finish creates a distinctly honeyed, fruit-forward experience.

• Distillery: Isle of Arran Distillery – established 1995, Scotland’s newest distillery island
• Region: Arran, Scottish Highlands – known for balanced, approachable malts with coastal influence
• ABV: 40% – perfectly calibrated for approachable sweetness without overwhelming alcohol heat
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: Initial bourbon cask aging finished in premium Sauternes wine casks from Bordeaux
• Tasting Notes: Nose opens with apricot jam, vanilla custard, and floral honey. Palate reveals candied orange peel, poached pears, buttery pastry, and subtle oak spice. Finish is medium-long with lingering honeycomb and dried fruits
• Best Served: Neat at room temperature in a tulip-shaped glass; add a few drops of water to unlock additional fruit notes

Our spirits specialists at Mr. Chow’s Liquor have found this expression particularly versatile for both whisky newcomers and experienced enthusiasts. The Sauternes cask influence adds a dessert-wine sweetness that’s more refined than aggressive, making it wonderfully food-friendly at RM 300.

Ideal for: CNY gift-giving, after-dinner sipping, or building a diverse whisky collection with our Mega Big Bundle Arran Bundles package. Pairs with: Rich Malaysian desserts like kuih lapis, salted egg yolk pastries, or even spicy-sweet char siu. Recommended for: Those who appreciate fruit-forward whiskies with elegant sweetness, perfect for warm Malaysian evenings.
