Arran 2012 – Private Cask 60.0% (2022)

Arran 2012 – Private Cask (Ex-Bourbon Barrel, 9 Year Old, 60.0%)

245 bottles – Pure Island craftsmanship

A Private Cask bottling from Arran is never just any whisky. This 2012 cask is a textbook example of how elegant, clean, and powerful the Isle of Arran can be when a single ex-bourbon barrel is given complete control.

Distilled on November 13, 2012 and bottled in June 2022 at a robust 60.0% ABV , this single malt shows its true character: unfiltered, pure and in perfect balance between tropical sweetness and salty island influences .

The nose opens with warm vanilla, pineapple, and soft citrus oil. The palate explodes with honey, creamy toffee, fresh oak, and a hint of white pepper—that signature Arran profile you recognize instantly. The long finish brings coconut, mousse-like vanilla, and soft fruit, carried by the strength of the cask.

A bottling that already shines today, but will only gain more depth in the future.
A must for collectors — for enthusiasts, a rare moment of pure Arran perfection.
