30th Anniversary Cask Offer
This year marks a major milestone for us at Isle of Arran Distillers, as we proudly celebrate 30 years of Lochranza Distillery - the home of Arran Single Malt. To mark this incredible occasion, we’re offering 30 exclusive New Fill Palo Cortado Sherry casks, each to be filled on 15th August 2025, exactly 30 years to the day since our very first cask was filled back in 1995.
In the years since, Arran Single Malt has become a modern classic. With pure water from Loch na Davie and an unwavering commitment to quality, our whisky has earned international acclaim for its vibrant character and award-winning range. Over the years, we’ve matured our whisky in an array of casks - from bourbon and sherry to rare wine - creating an exciting and diverse flavour profile that whisky lovers around the world have come to cherish.
Now, for our 30th anniversary, we’ve selected Palo Cortado, one of the rarest and most revered styles of Sherry, born from the unique fusion of Fino’s delicate flor aging and Oloroso’s oxidative richness. The result is an incredibly complex cask that imparts wonderful flavours of toasted oak, nuts, spice, and warm citrus—perfect for maturing our vibrant Arran spirit.
Each of the 30 casks will be filled on 15th August 2025 and priced at £7,250, which includes 10 years of insurance and storage.
To mark this special release, each 30th Anniversary Palo Cortado cask will be finished with a bespoke commemorative stencil, making it instantly recognisable and truly one-of-a-kind.
