Single Cask Nation Isle of Arran 8 Year Old is a peated single malt Scotch whisky from a single cask, number 153141, distilled at Lochranza on the Isle of Arran and bottled at cask strength, 61.8% ABV.
Single Cask Nation is an independent bottler that selects individual casks and bottles each as it is.
This expression marries Arran's signature bright fruit with a distinct, smoky maritime punch.
The mouthfeel is dense, rich and remarkably chewy, with a pastry-like heft.
Peated spirit is a rarity from Arran, best known for its unpeated malts, which makes this cask a collector's find. Every single cask is limited to the bottles one cask can fill.
Scotch whisky must be distilled and matured in Scotland for at least three years in oak casks, and any age statement on the label refers to the youngest whisky in the bottle.
