There is still magic in the world.

Deer, Bear & Moose visited a small Scottish island where magic thrives anew. The island is named Arran and the magic we speak of is Arran Whisky.

The island features every Celtic facet Scotland is known for: from mountains to lowlands, beguiling castles, lochs, glens and, of course, its very own world-renowned distillery. The Arran stills were first fired in 1995, but don’t let their youth fool you as they've embraced and fully mastered the heritage. Their Whisky is pure, strong and true. ⁠⁠(We're sure Arran wouldn't mind sharing a cask for a pretty penny, but if you fancy a sip from one of their finest vintages without breaking a sweat, here's your chance.)⁠⁠

Deer, Bear & Moose Arran 1996 is an enchanting vintage. It's 19  years old, only a year younger than the distillery, and exactly as the Arran Druids made it—straight from the cask, non-chill-filtered and with no added colouring. Sweet and fruity, with notes of peach, it’s a dram with a soft, but strong presence. A truly spellbinding find.

Scotch Whisky is seldom aged in new barrels. Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey casks are usually used for maturation. In addition to that, Whisky is often matured or finished in various wine casks such as Sherry or Port.
Can Scotch go bad? Technically, an unopened bottle of Scotch can last forever. Air is the only true evil to Whisky; once the liquid is oxidized it is no longer immortal. After opening, as long as you store your Whisky in a cool, dry place, it will last another 5 years.
Whisky distilling goes way back to 1494 when the first recorded batch was made by a posse of monks who acquired about 60 gallons of barley and decided to turn it into "aqua vitae". They created the first 1,500 bottles of Scotch in History.
Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made in Scotland using a pot still distillation process at a single distillery, with malted barley as the only grain ingredient. It must be matured in oak casks in Scotland for at least three years (most Single Malts are matured longer, though).
90% of all Scotch Whisky released in the market is a blend. That’s a hell of a lot.
Arran is the first distiller on the island since 1837, when the "Lagg Distillery" closed its doors.
