Arran Kildonan & Pladda Island - 21 years old - The Explorers Series

The maturation process of the Arran Kildonan & Pladda Island plays a key role in its character. The whisky was initially matured in Sherry Butts and Puncheons, with a finishing period in Ruby Port Pipes sourced directly from Portugal. This meticulous selection of casks adds a unique complexity to the whisky, which has been appreciated by whisky enthusiasts.

This single malt whisky was bottled by the distillery on 20th May 2020, and it was introduced to the market as a limited release, with just 9000 bottles worldwide. Its bottling strength is 50.4% Vol., which contributes to the robust character of the spirit. The presentation of Arran Kildonan & Pladda Island is noteworthy, with each bottle housed in a tin showcasing the picturesque views of Kildonan and Pladda Island.

Given the limited availability, unique maturation process, and the rich association with the Isle of Arran's natural beauty, the Arran Kildonan & Pladda Island holds a distinctive place in the whisky market. Its status as part of the Explorers Series and the specific cask type influence make it an engaging selection for whisky collectors and investors.
