Oban Little Bay uses whisky matured in refill American oak hogsheads, European oak Sherry casks and refill casks with new ends for this expression before allowing the resultant single malt whisky to marry in small oak casks. This has resulted in a rich whisky with notes of stone fruit, spice and honey.

43% ABV

Made with heavily peated barley at the Tobermory distillery, this Ledaig is a very elemental dram, with a raft of mineral and oceanic flavours and aromas. After a sweet and creamy start, Island qualities take over - evoking seaweed, lobster meat and rock pools. A mellow and complex peaty flavour remains at the heart of this dram, earthy and rich with notes of burnt rubber and smoked cheese.

Distillery Notes...

With Signature Series Edition 3 'Duero Discovery', you'll discover the influence of an excellent quality wine cask on our Arran Single Malt. The red wine casks used in this bottling were previously used to mature wine from the wine-producing region along the Duero River, in northern Spain, before they arrived with us in Lochranza.

This rich, ruby amber coloured whisky is a Premium 12 year old unpeated example of Arran Single Malt.

The Duero Discovery was initially matured for 6 years in first and second fill bourbon barrels and then transferred into first fill Spanish red wine casks and matured in our dunnage warehouse number 4 under the watchful eye of Distillery Manager Stewart Bowman for a further 6 years.

Stewart has blended the resulting whisky from these casks at the optimal age of 12years and is proud to present an unusual maturation of Arran Single Malt bearing his signature and seal of approval.

Nose

Bright with caramelised fruit and hazelnuts. Slight note of salted caramel and zesty grapefruit rind.

Palate

Full bodied, plenty of complex mouth feel. Oak forward with dark red berries and creamy vanilla. A little ginger, sweet spice and aniseed.

Finish

Sweetness, Hazelnut, Ripe figs, Mouth-watering

The Signature Series is our four-part limited-edition series.  It is a selection of Arran Single Malts which showcases the diversity of our spirit and embodies the values which are important to us.  It features four unique bottlings specially chosen by Lochranza Distillery Manager Stewart Bowman and given his seal of approval. 

With this bottling, we invite you to learn about the more heavily peated side of Arran matured in a Bourbon Barrel.  The peated level of this bottling sits at 42ppm.

The Quarter Casks used in this bottling were sourced from a small distillery in Chicago – Koval - who use these custom built 115 litre casks to mature their Bourbon before they arrive with us in Lochranza.

The whisky in this bottling was originally filled into Bourbon Barrels in 2012. It was matured for nearly 5 and a half years, before being transferred into the Koval Quarter Casks in September 2018, where it spent the remaining 5 and a half years of its maturation time. We filled only a small number of these Quarter Casks and have not filled any more since. As such, they have a very rare place in our inventory.

Over the course of the secondary maturation, the intensity of the heavily peated whisky has taken on an even more complex and full-bodied character. The smaller the size of cask, the greater the surface contact area between the wood and the spirit, effectively creating an environment for ‘express’ maturation. The resulting whisky has the benefit of more intense flavours which add depth and greater nuance to the final dram. Smokier notes mingle with the well-loved charred citrus and sweet vanilla spices of Arran Single Malt, evoking a bonfire made from barrel staves.

Our Barrel Bonfire is bottled at 50% Vol, as always non-chill filtered and with no added colouring

A New Zealand exclusive produced in collaboration with Signatory Vintage. Distilled at the Ardmore distillery situated half-way between between Inverurie and Huntly in rural North East Scotland. Distilled in July 2010 and aged for 14 years in total, its final phase of maturation took place in a first-fill Oloroso hogshead.

The aroma initially evokes old dunnage warehouses, before a flood of raspberry ripple ice cream, rocky road and chocolate dipped raspberries. Ardmore's signature smoke is there, a subtle undertone of fragrant beech wood coming from an old wood smoker. On the palate, this is rich and dense with tart summer fruits, charred peaches and hard creamy toffee (Scottish, of course). There is a heart of burnt orange zest and cinnamon spice that lands soft and dry in the finish.

Diluted by time to 58.4% cask strength, this whisky will show its natural oils with water added to your glass, throwing a cloudy haze.

58.4% ABV | 700mL

Taking inspiration from the Campbeltown Market Cross and the characters emblazoned on it, this release is named for the iconic maritime myth, the Mermaid. Made from unpeated barley and finished in Palo Cortado ex-sherry casks, this is a drier, floral and decidedly coastal expression. A swirling nose of dry seaweed, sea salt gives way to rich apple tart with caramel. The finish is long and with a savoury , coastal undertone.

Refill wood, west coast air, 17 years of silence. This 2008 Tobermory has done everything the slow way, bottled at 54.9%, with salted lemon, sea herbs, wax polish and just enough funk to keep things interesting. Understated until it isn’t.

A Westport 'blended malt', distilled in 2003, aged for 21 years and bottled at natural cask strength.

Nose: Ripe dark berries, stewed plums, and rich fruitcake, with hints of polished oak, cinnamon, and toasted almonds.

Palate: Silky and mouth-coating, with waves of dark chocolate, spiced orange, sticky toffee pudding, and black cherries, balanced by a touch of espresso and walnut.

Finish: Long, warming, and deeply satisfying, with lingering notes of dried figs, molasses, and a whisper of oak spice.

This 12-year-old Bunnahabhain spent its life balanced between refill wood and fresh sherry casks (roughly half and half), drawing on the best of both: the distillery’s coastal soul sharpened by refill, and its richness deepened by sherry.

The marriage of two refill barrels, that have been combined in a 3rd fill sherry hogshead for over two years and bottled at natural cask strength.
