Arran Brodick Bay 20 Year Old The Explorers Series – Volume One (N/Acl, 49.80%)

Distilled on the rugged Isle of Arran, this 20-year-old expression is the inaugural release of The Explorers Series, capturing the coastal essence of Brodick Bay. Matured in a sophisticated blend of ex-bourbon barrels and finished in ex-Sherry hogsheads, the whisky reveals a complex harmony of sweet vanilla, sun-ripened orchard fruits, and delicate sea spray. On the palate, expect a rich, velvety texture marked by notes of dark chocolate, toasted oak, and a lingering, spicy finish that evokes the windswept beauty of the Scottish coast.
