Robert Burns World Federation Arran Single Malt 5 CL
The Robert Burns World Federation Arran Single Malt 5 CL is a miniature that allows you to discover one of the most representative whiskies from the Arran distillery through a cultural and traditional perspective. It is not an edition intended solely for collectors, but rather a direct and honest way to experience the house style in a reduced, convenient and highly practical format.
At Licorea, we believe this whisky occupies a distinctive place within our selection of Scotch whisky miniatures. It is not common to find a single malt that so clearly combines identity, balance and a genuine connection to Scotland’s history. This 5 CL version preserves the full essence of the original bottling.
A genuine tribute to Robert Burns
This single malt was created as a tribute to Robert Burns, Scotland’s national poet and a key figure in its popular culture. His name is closely linked to celebrations, gatherings and tradition, and that same spirit is reflected in the whisky. It is not a symbolic reference without substance, but a recognised collaboration with the World Federation that reinforces this cultural bond.
The result is an approachable, balanced and easy-to-understand whisky. A profile that does not aim to be extreme or overly technical, but instead remains faithful to the tradition of well-made Scotch single malt.
Production on the Isle of Arran
The Robert Burns World Federation Arran Single Malt is produced on the Isle of Arran, a natural environment that clearly influences the final character of the whisky. The water used comes from local springs, soft and pure, a key element in achieving a well-balanced distillate.
Distillation is carried out in traditionally designed copper stills, with a focus on precision and clarity. After distillation, the whisky matures in a combination of American oak casks that previously held bourbon and casks that once contained sherry. This ageing process adds complexity without masking the expression of the malt.
The liquid in this miniature is exactly the same as that found in the standard bottle. There is no specific version for the smaller format, ensuring a complete and faithful experience of the original whisky.
A clean and balanced sensory profile
On the nose, it is fresh and approachable. Notes of ripe fruit, gentle vanilla and a lightly spiced background emerge. It is neither heavy nor closed, making it easy to enjoy even for those new to single malt whisky.
On the palate, it follows the same balanced line. The malt is clearly present, accompanied by sweet nuances from the wood. The influence of sherry is measured, adding roundness without dominating the overall profile.
The finish is medium, warm and clean. It leaves a pleasant aftertaste, with a subtle dryness that invites further exploration at a relaxed pace.
5 CL format, ideal for tasting and discovery
The 5 CL miniature is perfect for those who wish to try the whisky before committing to a full-sized bottle. It is also a very interesting option for comparative tastings or for those who enjoy building a varied collection of Scotch single malts.
At Licorea, we see this format as a useful tool for learning and enjoyment. This Robert Burns expression allows you to discover the Arran style without haste and with its identity clearly defined.
Recommended moments for enjoyment
This single malt is well suited to calm, relaxed moments. A leisurely after-dinner drink, a personal tasting or a small gathering of enthusiasts are ideal settings. It can be enjoyed neat to better appreciate its nuances, or with a few drops of water to gently open up the aromas.
It does not require complex accompaniments. Natural nuts or a little dark chocolate can pair nicely without taking the spotlight away from the whisky.
A miniature with its own identity
Within our category of Scotch whisky miniatures, the Robert Burns World Federation Arran Single Malt stands out for its coherence and clear message. It does not seek to impress through extremes, but rather to offer tradition, balance and an honest drinking experience.
We believe this whisky can offer something different to single malt lovers: an authentic cultural connection, an accessible profile and the opportunity to discover Arran in a small yet complete format. A whisky that speaks calmly and leaves a lasting impression.
