ARRAN SAUTERNES FINISH
The Arran Sauternes Finish is another standout from the distillery's cask finish series, where the whisky enjoys a secondary maturation in casks that previously held the sweet Sauternes wine from France. This innovative finishing process lends the whisky an exquisite balance of Arranβs natural citrus and orchard fruit flavours with the lush, sweet character of Sauternes, adding layers of complexity and richness. It's a seamless marriage of Scottish craftsmanship and French luxury, showcasing Arran's prowess in cask experimentation.
