A Vintage Assessments Explorer's Selection! |
| Opened in 1995, Isle of Arran Distillers created a floodgate of interest in building new distilleries. None of the other new ones have opened yet, but until they do, Isle of Arran continues to hold the distinction of being Scotland’s newest distillery. Chill-filtering supposedly helps to add clarity and brightness to the finished product. Although the other two Isle of Arran Scotches in this release (this page) are chill-filtered, this one is not. The argument is that chill-filtering can remove some of the character from the finished product. See for yourself by purchasing this non-chillfiltered and one or both of the other two. Is there a taste difference. You be the judge. |
