Òran Blend No.2

50% Malt | 50% Grain | 50% ABV

blended scotch whisky

In this time of the single malt there is a temptation to regard a blend with a touch of disdain-the poor member of a noble family. Yet it is anything but. The blend of grain whisky and malt is a creation offering myriad possibilities.

Òran is, unashamedly, an old school blend - one recognizable to whisky lovers in the heyday of blended whisky some 100 years ago. Where the grain and malt contents are created separately but ultimately act as the perfect foil for the other. The objective is delicate complexity and finely tuned balance.I trust that you will find it here.

Jim Murray - Master Blender

Delicate to the point of fragility, sweet grassy and lush with a soft smokiness that can be overshadowed by the spicier oak and genteel vanilla.
A salivating delivery with beautiful honeydew melon sweetness giving the malt a pleasant softness. The spices nibble and play throughout, a subtle reminder that some good age is involved here.
Satisfyingly long and linear, with the spices tingling but without aggression while the malt makes its elegant mark even late on.
