Robert Burns World Federation Arran Blended 5 CL
The Robert Burns World Federation Arran Blended 5 CL is a miniature designed to discover a well-balanced Scotch whisky, deeply rooted in tradition and clearly focused on accessibility. This reduced format fully preserves the character of the original bottling and offers a direct introduction to its style, without artifice or compromise.
At Licorea, we see this whisky as a very specific reference within our selection of miniatures. It is uncommon to find a blended whisky with such a clearly defined cultural connection and such a carefully considered production. For many enthusiasts, it offers an honest and slightly different way to approach the world of Scotch whisky.
A blended whisky with Scottish identity
This whisky was created as a tribute to Robert Burns, Scotland’s national poet and a key figure in its cultural identity. His name is closely linked to gatherings, celebrations and popular tradition. That spirit is reflected in the whisky itself, which aims to be approachable, balanced and easy to enjoy.
The collaboration with the World Federation reinforces this cultural link. It is not a simple marketing element, but part of a recognised project that connects whisky with Scotland’s heritage and its international promotion.
Production and composition
Robert Burns World Federation Arran Blended combines malt whisky from Arran with carefully selected grain whisky. The intention is not to hide the malt, but to integrate it naturally within a harmonious and clearly defined profile.
Distillation follows traditional methods, with particular attention paid to the purity of the spirit. The whisky is then matured in oak casks that previously held bourbon. This type of maturation brings softness, gentle sweetness and overall stability.
The contents of this 5 CL miniature are exactly the same as those bottled in the standard format. There is no specific version for miniatures, ensuring a faithful experience of the original whisky.
An accessible and well-balanced sensory profile
On the nose, it is clean and welcoming. Notes of vanilla, soft fruit and a lightly toasted background appear. It is neither intrusive nor closed, making it easy to enjoy from the very first moment.
On the palate, it offers a smooth and rounded mouthfeel. The malt provides structure, while the grain whisky softens the overall profile. Sweet oak notes and a well-integrated cereal character can be perceived.
The finish is medium in length, warm and balanced. It leaves a clean sensation, free from sharp edges, inviting a calm and unhurried enjoyment.
A 5 CL format for unhurried discovery
The 5 CL miniature is ideal for those who wish to try this blended whisky before choosing a larger bottle. It is also very suitable for comparative tastings or for those who enjoy collecting representative Scotch whisky miniatures.
At Licorea, we value this format as a practical way to learn and enjoy. It allows you to experience the whisky’s true profile, without conditions and with its full identity intact.
Recommended moments for enjoyment
This blended whisky fits well into relaxed settings. A calm after-dinner moment, an informal gathering or a simple tasting are all suitable occasions. It can be enjoyed neat to appreciate its balance, or with a few drops of water to gently open up the aromas.
It does not require complex accompaniments. Natural nuts or a light savoury snack can pair well without detracting from the whisky itself.
A miniature with its own clear purpose
Within our category of Scotch whisky miniatures, the Robert Burns World Federation Arran Blended stands out for its coherence and honest approach. It does not aim for extremes or overly technical profiles. Instead, it offers balance, tradition and an experience that is easy to understand.
We believe this blended whisky can offer something different to many whisky lovers: a genuine cultural connection, an accessible profile and the opportunity to discover Arran from a more open and approachable perspective. A whisky designed to be shared and enjoyed without complication.
