Arran 14 Year - Single Malt Scotch Whisky - Camp Dram Review
This video is NOT sponsored.
🎥 In this video, Lee Ann will talk about Arran 14 Year single malt whisky and introduce you to our favorite spot at the camp - the dock overlooking the river.
👍 Thanks for watching this episode of Camp Drams. It’s a time where we sit back and relax and enjoy a nice dram of single malt scotch whisky. Taste is personal and relative. My tasting notes are just my opinion and in no way are meant to be gospel.
Scotch on the Bayou - where we explore the wonders of Scotch whisky and the flavor of life in Louisiana.
On this channel I will:
• Review expressions of scotch, primarily single malt scotch whisky
• Dive into educational topics about whisky
• Share the bounty of culture of Louisiana
• Feature my travels through Scotland
• Show that whisky is not pretentious nor is it only a "man's drink."
Whisky is the aquavitae - water of life - for those of age to enjoy, responsibly.
Come join me on this adventure. Slàinte, Y’all!

I love love love the vibe of the camp drams. Great video, and nice discussion of a lovely whisky.

[@ScotchontheBayou]

Glad you enjoyed it! Wish all my whisky peeps could join me for a dram at the camp! Thanks for the feedback! Means so much, Michael!

[@sundayeveningscotch4978]

@@ScotchontheBayou Oh a dram at the camp is on my bucket list now. It is happening someday!

[@ScotchontheBayou]

@@sundayeveningscotch4978 Absolutely!

[@silverlochwhiskyreviews6157]

Love the scenic beauty of your camp ... perfect for sipping a dram or two and enjoy these malt moments. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@ScotchontheBayou]

Thanks for watching! It's a great place... until the mosquitoes come! Bug spray and whisky don't mix well! LOL 🥃🦟🦟🦟

[@ScotchontheBayou]

Camp hair - don't care! Hope y'all enjoy this review of Arran 14 and a quick peek of the view from the pier and dock at the Camp! Slainte, Y'all!

[@DrewBills]

hold that spot on the swing for me. I'm coming down next year!

[@loknes3924]

Great review Lee, I've had several offerings from Arran, always an nice pour and still a reasonable price in my area, keep up the good work, loving the laid back approach, cheers.

[@ScotchontheBayou]

Thanks, will do! Appreciate the feedback, LOKNES. Arran seems to be a great value. Hoping to explore more of what they are doing!

[@jdkrans]

Cheers LeAnn! I luckily finally got one of these yesterday!! Such a fan of the 10.

[@ScotchontheBayou]

Sorry for the delay in responding, Jon! I'm so glad you got your hands on the 14! SOOOOOOO good!!!! I have the older version of the 10, which I really like, but looking forward to finding the new Arran 10. My market is so limited. Be well and Happy New Year!

[@BobbyJ_19x]

Great review, wish I was on the Bayou myself! Thank you for sharing the camp so I can be there in spirit! The 10 is amazing and sounds like the 14 just builds on it. I have a sample of the 18 that I am sipping very slowly as it is awesome as well. Cheers Lee Ann!🥃

[@ScotchontheBayou]

Glad you enjoyed it! And I really need to try the 10 year! Folks are raving about it! Thanks for all the support Bobby! See ya on Zoom!

[@bourboneeringpodcasts]

Terry's choclate orange is a great note in any whisky!

[@ScotchontheBayou]

Thanks Austin! Funny how your brain makes the connection with taste/smell and memories!

[@primalmike2484]

Great review, such a lovely dram from a great distillery. They do various cask finishes at reasonable prices plus the bogeda is a wonderful Sherry whisky.

[@ScotchontheBayou]

Totally agree - I've had a few other maturations (amarone, port) but need to try the bodega! Thanks for the support! Cheers!

[@Richie.Z]

Camp Drams looks so relaxing and perfect for the Scotch sipping! I’ve had a bottle of Arran 14 and thoroughly enjoyed it, it’s harder to find now but not impossible. Cheers, Lee Ann, another great review😊🥃

[@ScotchontheBayou]

It's so good! Thanks for the support, Richie!

[@Richie.Z]

@@ScotchontheBayou You’re welcome!

[@redboxes]

What a beautiful place, congrats 👍

[@ScotchontheBayou]

Thank you very much! Cheers! 🥃

[@Aqvavitae]

I wish I'd bought a couple to stash away. Sadly still a gap in the Arran line up. Slàinte Lee Ann!

[@ScotchontheBayou]

Oh, If only we had a crystal ball to tell us which bottles to buy extras! LOL Perhaps the 14 will find its way to you one day, Roy! Thanks for the comment, friend!

[@lunaarran6965]

Another great one Lee-Ann with cool shots from Camp Dram. Certainly a great place to wind down! Really like Arran, who would‘ve guessed ;) I like the 10yo old expression and the 18yo new expression and particularly the Master of Distilling Series and several single casks. Not a fan of all cask finishes but the Madeira is stunning and the Marsala is also nice . Hope you like squirrel... 😇😅

[@ScotchontheBayou]

Of ALL people, YOU, Luna know your Arran whisky! We have a limited selection in my market. Some cask finishes but never the single casks! Hopefully I can get to the distillery one day! Thanks for the support, my friend!

[@marksaliba4194]

Arran is my fav distillery. All the cask finishes, the 18, the bothy are delicious. All 46+ abv and the price is right too. Great review and beautiful shots from Camp dram. Cheers Lee Ann 🥃🇨🇦🇺🇲

[@ScotchontheBayou]

Yes! Arran does "all the right things!" Hoping to visit there some day! Thanks for the support Mark!

[@RealDogkingFigz]

Beautiful review! Nice cigar to pair with lol! Mike Pitts

[@ScotchontheBayou]

Absolutely Mike - how about posting your thoughts on a good cigar to enjoy with the Arran 14?!?!?

[@murduk88]

Thank you so much for the camp landscape. That old regalia Arran 14 might be as good as whisky gets, but seeing some authentic Louisiana landscape is better. My paternal grandfather was born in New Iberia, grew up in Crowley, and some of that family still lives in that area in and around Lafayette. Cheers!

[@ScotchontheBayou]

Thanks for watching, Robert! And you are welcome! I love sharing our swamp. Happy it brought you some good memories. No matter what time of year it is gorgeous. I must say, sipping Arran 14 watching the river run by is not a hardship.😉 Most videos have a little nugget of Louisiana at the end. And an upcoming one will have a tour of our camp. Truly appreciate the support! Slàinte, y'all! 🥃🐊

[@moelassus]

The Arran 14 was my first exposure to Arran. If that wasn't good enough, their rebranded line has begun to show up in the US. Arran is doing great things and they have my full attention. Camp Dram looks like a lovely retreat. Camp Dram Whisky Festival?? :)

[@ScotchontheBayou]

Oh, Arran! Absolutely - brilliant work coming from them. We were to be there a year ago this week! Dang pandemic!!! I'd love for everyone to have a dram at the Camp! We STILL have water around the camp (going on 3 months now) so it's a bit soggy. We hope to get back to the camp to shoot more video there in a month or so. Thanks again for the support!

[@franklampard6316]

I have one opened bottle of the 14 year in my cabinet, but noticed my liquor store still has a few bottles, so will have to grab one before they are all gone.

[@ScotchontheBayou]

Grab those extras if you can! Well worth it! Thanks for the comment. 🥃

[@SaltyCuban]

How much in your area? There’s one bottle bottle left locally but it’s selling for @$95.

[@richardagnew4959]

Arran is such good 'juice.' I love the 10 yr old. I, too, have been told that the 18 is really, really good. When I can get back to Scotland, Arran distillery is DEFINITELY on my list for a visit. Thanks, Lee Ann, and regards to Mark again. :)

[@ScotchontheBayou]

It really is! I have an older 18 and interested to do a side by side with the new version. Interesting. Appreciate the support and cheers to us getting to get back to Scotland soon!

[@firstfill5072]

Chillin with any Arran would be amazing. In islay I was chillin on the waters edge with a dram of Laphroaig distillery, with their 10 yr Sherry cask… I was in dreamland. 🥃😎. Slainte mhath from Glasgow

[@ScotchontheBayou]

"waters edge with a dram of Lahproaig" .... That sounds like HEAVEN! Enjoying a dram at the camp by the river is as close as I can get until my next trip to Alba. Thanks for watching and send Glasgow my love!

[@maltymission]

‘This one time, at dram camp, Lee Ann brought this wonderful Arran along... ‘ first whiskies from Arran I tried didn’t really wow me, but this made me change my mind. Hoping it’ll return soon.cheers

[@ScotchontheBayou]

I wish everyone could join me for a dram at the camp! And yes, here's hoping the 14 returns! Cheers! 🥃

[@davidhunter5184]

Wish I had bought a second bottle of that 14.

[@ScotchontheBayou]

How many times have we ALL said that! LOL! There are some still out there! Search for the dusties! Cheers!

[@davidhunter5184]

@@ScotchontheBayou the 10 is a good dram, haven't tried the 18 yet.

[@agrainofmalt]

Arran 14 is/was one of my faves. I remember the first bottle I bought, before it was even halfway gone, I heard they were discontinuing it... I ordered another immediately. Can't wait until they bring it back under the new re-brand, and interested to see how it has changed like the 10 and 18 have. :)

[@ScotchontheBayou]

Arran is doing some really good things. We were to have visited last year (stupid pandemic). Hoping to get there some time! Thanks for the comment, James!

[@everwind5691]

The Arran 14 is lovely, and I am a huge fan of the Arran 10. I use the 10 to introduce non-scotch folks to scotch. It is kind, gentle, and full of flavor. One of the easiest sipping whiskies I ever have had. Rumor is drinking whisky in the Bayou either scares them big mosquitos away or they seek at the fine scotch in your blood. Any truth to that Lee?

[@ScotchontheBayou]

LOL 🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟 - Bugs on the Bayou LOVE whisky! And me, evidently! LOL 🤣 I really need to try the 10 - sounds delightful! Thanks, as always, Everwind, for the support.

[@MarkusKreitner]

Arran 14 is such a beautiful brilliant whisky. Sadly it's currently not available anymore.

[@ScotchontheBayou]

Right! Glad I have a few bunkered! Hoping they reintroduce it in the future.

[@thewhiskyscout1238]

Shooting Squirrels sounds good. I like fried squirrel, mashed potatoes, gravy and fried zucchini. Wash it down with a cold beer (yeah I know this is a scotch channel I wouldn’t be opposed to giving that a spin as well) that’s a meal.

[@ScotchontheBayou]

That sounds tasty! LOL
