@Kepler, I am interested to see how you like them. I am a big fan of The Arran Malts. 

 

I have some old Arran Malt bottles that are cask strength and delicious. I have a single cask bourbon cask that I had to have gotten over 10 years ago. From about the same time I have Single Cask sherry cask as well. I rarely drink them because they are so good and I believe both were under $100. Probably spend a lot more to get that kind of flavor now!

 

I also have a few more recent bottles from them. The Sauternes cask finish is lovely (100 proof) and so is the Amarone Cask finish (100 proof).

 

Finally, I have the Broderick Bay 20 Year cask strength. That is an amazing bottle.

 

Bottom line: Arran makes good scotch. 

 

Yessir I've heard many great things so I had to add these to my shelf.  Both of these are excellent, hard to pick a favorite.  They are different, with the newer 10 having more sherry influence than the original (exactly as I had read in reviews prior to purchasing).

Which one do I prefer?  Depends if I'm in a real sherry mood or not.  Haha yes I'm riding the fence .  They are both very high quality whisky and great values for the money.  I can see why Arran 10 is considered a staple in the single malt world.  

 

For now, these are great for me.  I'm sure eventually I will be curious about what what else Arran has to offer higher up in their range like you have.  But sounds like your older bottles are something special.
