A SCOTTISH island distillery will be releasing 30 limited edition casks to mark its 30th anniversary.
Isle of Arran Distillers will be marking 30 years of the Lochranza Distillery by offering 30 limited edition new fill Palo Cortado sherry casks, filled exactly 30 years to the day after the very first cask was filled on August 15, 1995.
Lochranza is one of Scotland’s few remaining independent distilleries and is one of two in Arran, alongside the newer Lagg distillery in the south of the island.
Palo Cortado is described as an "exceptionally rare and coveted" sherry, known for its unique combination of fino’s delicate flor ageing and oloroso’s oxidative depth.
Each Palo Cortado cask will feature a unique, commemorative stencil which will stand out from all other casks to mark the anniversary.
"This special cask offer is a wonderful and unique way to join us in marking this milestone.”
The limited-edition anniversary casks will be filled on August 15 and are each priced at £7250. All purchases will include 10 years of insurance and storage.
Stewart Bowman, Lochranza Distillery manager, added : “We’ve just received these wonderful casks from Spain, and the quality of the wood is outstanding.
"It’s a real privilege to have such special casks in our warehouse. I’m genuinely excited to see how the classic Arran Single Malt flavours will evolve into a fine, complex, and truly exceptional dram.”
