Description
Arran 12 Year Old Duero Discovery Signature Series Edition 3 70cl 50% is a distinctive limited edition single malt from the Isle of Arran Distillery, released as part of the Signature Series curated by Master Distiller Dr. Bill Lumsden. This third edition in the series explores the influence of rare Duero wine casks from Spain, bringing a unique twist to Arran’s fruity island spirit.
After an initial maturation period, the whisky is finished in carefully selected Spanish Duero wine casks, which impart layers of dark fruit, gentle tannins, and complex spice to the whisky. The result is a rich and expressive single malt that combines Arran’s fresh character with the bold influence of European wine casks.
Bottled at 50% ABV, with natural colour and without chill filtration, this expression offers a powerful and authentic whisky experience.
