A Decade in the Making

The Fisherman’s Retreat Edition 14 single cask single malt whisky has arrived!

This Arran Lochranza spirit bottled at 50% abv has been maturing patiently for over 10 years in a former Yalumba Fortified Wine cask from the heart of the Barossa Valley in South Australia.

A decade of cask maturation has evolved this already beautiful lightly peated spirit into a whisky of amazing depth and character that cannot be ignored.

As with all of The Fisherman’s Retreat Limited Editions this truly unique expression of Lochranza is the only one of its kind to ever be produced.

A Tale of Two Bottlings

Fisherman’s Retreat Edition 14 is not just a testament to the art of whisky making; it’s an invitation to experience this art in two distinct strengths. Each bottle size and strength has been meticulously designed to showcase the unique character of our peated single malt, matured in exceptional Yalumba wine casks.

The 50cl Bottle at Cask Strength (60.8% ABV)

The raw intensity of Edition 14 is shown with our cask strength bottling. Unfiltered and undiluted, this is as close as one can get to tasting the pure essence straight from the cask. Perfect for those who appreciate the powerful and untempered spectrum of flavours that only cask strength whisky can provide

The 70cl Bottle at 50.0% ABV

A more accessible, yet equally rich version of our peated expression. Diluted to 50.0% ABV, this bottling brings forward the subtleties and nuances that the Yalumba wine cask imparts. The slightly lower alcohol content allows the intricate layers of smoke, fruit, and spice to shine through, offering a beautifully balanced tasting experience.

Tasting Notes...

Appearance:

Gazing upon this spirit immediately draws your attention to the beautiful vibrant colours that resonate from this bottle. Once in the glass a whole new perspective takes hold, burnt amber and copper tones blend seamlessly to keep you transfixed, a roll of the glass imparts the natural oils from both cask and spirit leaving a gentle flow of tears rolling down the glass.

Nose:

Dried fruits, toffee and vanilla lead the way in this 10 year old Lochranza, a subtle note of peat is present but in no way over powering, left a little longer, blossom honey and hints of lemon zest become more apparent when left to rest.

Palate:

The boldness of this dram is something to be admired indeed, following on from the nose an initial sweetness fills the palate with fruity flavours imparted from the fortified wine cask, raisins, dates and figs to name a few, honey and citrus notes are also present, the gentleness of the spirit shines through with a subtle sweet peat smoke to round off this dram in style. At 50% abv the drinker has a lot to play with here.

Finish:

This single malt, single cask whisky delivers on every front! The lightly peated Lochranza spirit has worked in harmony with the Yalumba Fortified Wine Cask to produce another outstanding and distinctive Limited Edition. Only 373 bottles available at 50% abv.
"Fisherman's Retreat Edition 14 is a thoughtfully crafted whisky that combines the robust peatiness typical of Arran malts with the nuanced sweetness and complexity introduced by the Yalumba fortified wine cask. It's a dram that invites contemplation and offers new discoveries with each sip. Perfect for enjoying by a fireside or as a cap to a fine meal."
