Sampling The ARRAN 2000 Private Cask: A Whisky Exchange Exclusive!

October 21, 2015 by Gary Leave a Comment

ARRAN 2000  Private Cask #1106 TWE Exclusive

ARRAN 2000
Private Cask #1106 TWE Exclusive

Once again, Billy (@cowfish) and The Whisky Exchange (@WhiskyExchange) have spoilt me by sending another sample from their range of new whisky exclusives.

Today I have the ardous task of sampling their ARRAN 2000 14 Years Old. Oh! Poor me!

Based in Lochranza on the Isle of Arran, Isle of Arran Distillers is one of the few remaining independent distilleries in Scotland.

They use only the traditional methods of distilling, with wooden washbacks and copper stills. Their location off the west coast between Ayrshire and Kintyre offers perfect water for whisky production, cleansed by granite and softened by peat as it comes down from the mountain above.

Their the sea breezes and clear mountain air together with the warm flow of the Gulf Stream matures the Arran Malt to perfection in earth floored warehouses.

Tasting Notes – ARRAN 2000 14 Years Old TWE Exclusive (55.5%)

A 14 Year Old (2000) Distillery Bottling. Matured in a bourbon cask & Non-Chill Filtered, 197 bottles were produced in August 2015. It’s Cask Number is 2000/1106.


Nose: A subtle hint of spice and fruit. Then there’s apples and vanilla fudge aplenty after leaving a little while to breathe.

Palate: A pleasant mix of pepper, spice and sweet cake mixture with a little liquorice thrown in for good measure.

Finish: A smooth, short finish with a lovely flavour of spiciness and sweetness.

Overall: The 55% gives this dram some power but don’t worry, it’s all controlled in a very civilised way. The balance of sweetness and spice is a joy to taste! A dram to enjoy while watching terrible weather forecasts all cosied up by the fire!

£70.95

Cheers to Billy (@cowfish) and The Whisky Exchange (@WhiskyExchange) for sending the samples!
