Now I was still a noob (still am) to the full extent of the world wide whisky world then but it seemed to be one of the few rebrands to be accepted with open arms.But it has that complexity there if you want to investigate with a dram and really delve into the flavours on offer. I was pretty happy with this too, as lighter malt; will finally post my review, probably in a couple weeks. This is a nod to the pair of golden eagles that built their nest on a cliff near the distillery at the time of construction.

Non chill-filtered and no colour was added, the golden straw colour is the product of a marriage first and second fill bourbon and sherry casks on a 70-30 ratio, or was it 80-20?

The Isle of Arran 10 Year Old single malt whisky was originally launched in 2006, replaced with a new design and a new recipe in 2019, this 10 year old lies at the heart of the Isle of Arran range and exudes all the honeyed richness we have come to associate with the island distillery. If any new distillery follows the way Lochranza Distillery has gone about making whisky when they started before the modern whisky boom in 1995 i. There is a slight initial hit (for me this hit lasts less than a half second) of seaweed, smoke and salt before the nose settles and becomes fruity (pear-like), with a vanilla sweetness, and the only part of the initial moment that remains is the salt.
