Finished in a Madeira fortified wine cask, this Isle of Arran single malt is bottled at 50% abv. The initial maturation takes place in traditional oak (refill) casks, before being moved to the Madeira casks for a period of time determined by Master Distiller James MacTaggart. It is he who must decide when the balance between the influence of the first fill Madeira casks and the sweet and fruity distillery style is just right.

That deep rich grape aroma really took my breath away!(@0@) I was really satisfied with it. I have not had Madeira wine yet but after drinking this limited "Arran", I have a great interest in Madeira wine. Thank you for recommending such interesting limited whisky for me, Masster!
