Isle of Arran Revives Arran 14 and Unveils 30-Year Flagship

Isle of Arran Distillers Revive Classics and Launch Prestigious New Release

Isle of Arran Distillers has announced the return of two landmark whiskies to its core range, refreshing the portfolio with the Arran 14 Years Old 2026 and introducing the ultra-aged Arran 30 Years Old . These releases underscore the distillery’s evolution and commitment to craftsmanship, following recent accolades such as Scottish Whisky Awards’ Distillery of the Year.

Design & Presentation

The entire Arran Single Malt range now features redesigned labels and packaging with enhanced visual cues distinguishing each expression. The new bottles are crafted from recycled Vista glass, underscoring Arran’s sustainability ambitions. The 30-Year-Old stands out in a premium natural wood box adorned with copper accents and a textured paper label echoing wood grain, reflecting its status as the range’s flagship. Meanwhile, the 14-Year-Old bottle carries a striking modern design that complements its revival.

Maturation & Flavor Profile

The Arran 14 Years Old 2026 is predominantly matured in bourbon casks, complemented by rare Palo Cortado sherry casks which contribute complexity and a subtle maritime saltiness. Bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered, and natural in color, it offers a balance of tropical fruitiness and intensity.

The Arran 30 Years Old represents three decades of maturation in rare sherry hogsheads from Arran’s earliest years. Also bottled at 46% ABV with no chill filtration and natural color, it delivers a mature profile with deep notes of burnt orange, star anise, and cinnamon, supported by honey, orchard fruits, vanilla, and cloves.
