Got to thank @DramBuddy for finding this and kindly selling it to me. Two bottles still to find to have a pretty complete set of all editions worth having.

I got a heads up from a friend and grabbed 4 in a grotty old shop at a taxi rank. Hard to believe they still have these knocking about but at R320 I guess most of the clientele are mostly buying a litre of OB Sherry for R38.

I wonder if there's a difference in the old and new Arrans(packaging wise) I haven't had the new 10(told it's really good) but the quarter cask and sherry casks are excellent. Haven't had the lochranza cask so can't judge.

The packaging is very different but that seems to be all. I actually got a reply from someone working in the distillery that nothing has changed. It's a very distinctive character profile that I think a lot of people will love but it's something I'll need to come back to a few times to reassess.

Lochranza is quite sherried, nicely sweet but not quite being a sherry bomb like Glendronach. With water that Arran signature comes through quite strongly so I'll stick to neat.

I'm keen on getting the (older lable) Amarone and Port cask finishes but those are getting quite a bit rarer. Copper Monkey had those but went out of stock over my purchase weekend. Next time...

Price?


Saw someone posting about their bottle a couple minutes ago on the FB group and that sent me down a rabbit hole. Contemplating, as there is a shop online selling it for not that much (in my assumption)
