With its soaring hills and rugged coasts, rich farmland and dense forests, the Isle of Arran is known as "Scotland in miniature," as it shares some of the characteristics of the Highlands and Lowlands, the mainland and the Western Isles. This geography is key to the character of Arran whisky, a spirit that reflects a range of regional influences, yet achieves a rare and unique personality all its own. A nose of citrus fruits leads to a rush of vanilla sweetness, which then gives way to a touch of cinnamon that adds a spicy edge to the soft and sweet texture.
