Lochranza 9 Year Old First-fill Bourbon Barrel by Living Souls Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Living Souls Lochranza 9 is a bold, island‑style Arran single malt that feels like a campfire on a sunny Arran beach: a 9‑year‑old whisky fully matured in first‑fill bourbon barrels and bottled at a punchy 55% ABV, non‑chill filtered and natural colour. The nose is packed with buttery toffee (think Werther’s Originals), candied lemon peel, bright citrus and soft vanilla fudge, before the palate bursts into pineapple gummy bears, charred stone fruit and honeyed malt wrapped in a gentle wisp of peat smoke. The finish is long, sweet and lightly smoky, with lingering vanilla and coastal freshness, making this a vibrant, modern island malt that combines Arran’s tropical fruit character with just enough peat and bourbon cask richness to keep enthusiasts and curious newcomers equally interested.
