A landmark expression from the Isle of Arran Distillery, the 18 Year Old represents one of the finest bottles in the distillery's core range — and a compelling case for why Arran has become one of Scotland's most respected island distilleries since its founding in 1995. Aged for almost two decades in sherry casks, this is a whisky that rewards patience, delivering a richness and depth that only comes with serious time in wood.
Bottled at 46% ABV without chill-filtration, the Arran 18 Year Old retains its full natural character and texture, allowing the sherry cask influence to express itself with real honesty and integrity. For a core range expression, it punches well above its weight, offering a level of complexity and maturity that rivals far more expensive aged single malts.
A genuinely impressive bottle for both everyday enjoyment and gifting, and an essential addition for anyone building a well-rounded island whisky collection.
Perfect for: Sherry cask enthusiasts, island whisky lovers, and anyone seeking a rich, well-aged core range single malt with genuine depth and character.

Arran
Founded 1994
The Isle of Arran has played host to many distilleries, mostly illicit and the last legal distillery closed in 1835. What is surprising is that it took until 1995 for a still to run again as the Arran distillery at Lochranza came online. Financed mostly by Harold Currie who had retired from Chivas, the team also sought investment from 2000 investors who gave up £450 for a share of future whiskies. Many of whom turned up for the official opening, including a descendent of the last person to be killed on Arran for distilling illegally. Since the initial days, Arran distillery has prospered thanks to an array of cask types and special editions. The whisky, in time, has come of age and growing demand meant an expansion in 2017, with a new pair of stills. Things went even further in 2019 when a second distillery (Lagg) was established at the southern end of Arran.
