TBWC Arran 27YO 500mL

A mature and gracefully aged island single malt, the Arran 27 Year Old by That Boutique-y Whisky Company is a rare and refined expression from the Isle of Arran, capturing the essence of decades-long maturation in oak by the sea. On the nose, it opens with an elegant symphony of dried apricots, honeyed almonds, and tropical fruit compote — with papaya, mango, and a delicate touch of lychee rising gently from the glass. Soft undertones of vanilla fudge, old leather-bound books, and a whisper of maritime salinity add to the complexity, offering the comforting depth that only extended aging can provide. The palate is luxuriously smooth and richly layered. It reveals a tapestry of orange peel, toffee apple, and spiced pear tart, interwoven with coconut husk, polished oak, and a thread of dark chocolate. Hints of ginger spice and dried herbs lend structure, while the natural sweetness remains elegant and poised throughout. The finish is long and warming — waxed citrus, aged wood, and a trace of salted caramel slowly fade into a clean, nutty afterglow. It’s a whisky of quiet power and intricate beauty, designed for slow sipping and deep appreciation.
