this version of Arran Single Malt is matured in oak casks for eight years and then 'finished' in a selection of Sauternes wine casks. These casks of sweet white Bordeaux wine are specifically selected by the Master Distiller from a small, talented producer to ensure that the wine and whisky notes form a perfect marriage

Nose: Kilkerran Cadenhead 13 Year Old whisky is distinguished by intense aromas of ripe fruit, honey and vanilla, accompanied by notes of peat and smoke.

Finish: The finish of Kilkerran CDN 13 yo is long and warm, leaving lingering notes of candied fruit and spicy oak on the palate, for a rich, balanced taste experience.
Nose: Fresh, sweet fruitiness of lemon zest and white grape, exotic (pink grapefruit and ripe mango). A particularly spicy, woody note hovers above. A drop of water dries out these aromas and introduces a pinch of white pepper.
Taste: Creamy, full texture with a sweet flavor. Fruity and malty behind that homemade rum caramel, exotic notes of spicy pineapple and green banana, made even more palatable by spicy, dry oak.
A well-balanced, lightly saline Highland single malt whisky that makes an excellent aperitif. A crisp, dry, appetizing malt that opens with fresh, sweet orange notes and a long, dry finish.
Nose: Richly honeyed and supported by spices. After a moment in the glass, vanilla and raisin emerge, followed by notes of toasted oak.
