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

Patron Anejo is a delicate blend of uniquely aged tequilas. All the tequilas are aged in small white oak barrels for a minimum of 12 months. As in many premium red wines, the blends must be adjusted for each vintage. The same care and attention is paid when blending Patron Anejo making it smooth, distinctive and extraordinary. 

It's entirely probable that Rusty Blade invented the contemporary category of barrel-aged gin in 2005. They rested their Blade Gin, made from 88% wheat spirit and 12% California brandy, for 15 months in French Limousine oak barrels that previously held wine. The juniper and citrus notes already present in the gin became aromas of baking spice and cloves, with hints of vanilla and a rounded mouthfeel.

Know a cognac or whiskey fan who needs a bridge into gin? This might be the invitation to juniper that they need. Sip, mix, or both.

About this mezcal
Bruxo No. 4 is made by mezcalero Hero Rodriguez in the village of Las Salinas. The Ensamble is made with Espadin, Barril, and Cuishe maguey that have citrus and herbal notes.

Bruxo Mezcal
Bruxo was created by a group of friends who love and honor the country of Mexico. They discovered the magic of mezcal, but above all, its people. Brujo is synonymous with shaman, wise, illuminated; and the "X " in Bruxo then refers to the pronunciation of their origin lands, Oaxaca and México. Each bottle of Bruxo may vary slightly from lot to lot, so make sure to check your bottle for details.
