Arran 2011 – Private Cask – Peated 52.1% (2016)
Arran 2011 – Private Cask – Peated to 50 PPM
Exclusive barrel • 285 bottles • Natural Colour • 52.1%
An exceptional peated expression of Arran, drawn directly from a Bourbon Barrel and bottled for the 2017 Whisky Fair Limburg . This private cask offers a rare combination of Kildonan Island peat smoke and Arran's characteristic bright, fruity DNA—a style rarely found today.
Flavour profile (premium elaborated):
Nose: Pure citrus peel, vanilla and warm wood, carried by an elegant veil of campfire smoke.
Palate: Rich layers of roasted malt, baked apples, creamy vanilla and a dry, clean peat smoke that never overwhelms.
Finish: long, softly smoky, with a mineral touch and subtle sweetness.
Why this is a winner:
-
Peated Arran at 50 PPM – extremely rare, as Arran hardly produces heavily peated whisky anymore.
-
Private Cask : only 285 bottles , neat, non-chill filtered, and straight from the cask.
-
Vintage 2011 – bottled in 2017 for one of Europe's most important whisky events.
-
A style that appeals to collectors and enthusiasts alike: smoky, deep, yet refined.
A bottling with character, class and collector value — a whisky that proves why Private Casks of Arran are so sought after.
