I just had a look at it on Arrans website, priced at £44.99, i am sure it will be good but i think i will wait for some reviews of it at this price. I see they have got the Arran Port cask finish in there web shop, thats tempting as i thought that was delicious. Not sure if ththe Arran port cask finish was part of there core range or a limited release as i cant see it available anymore in the usual whisky outlets.

Archer, Arran seem to have an ongoing "Cask Finish Programme" , the port cask finish was part of their 2010 cask finish range, not sure if they intend to release more. i would guess they may play it by ear at Arran and whatever finish is particularly popular they can do another batch of that particular finish.

Yeh i think the port cask finish was just a limited release
