Andrew's Tasting Note - Lot 19/08/19

Nose: soft for the ABV, honeyed, malty and fruity; Starburst  fruit candies, juicy orange, marzipan, marcona almonds and Strawberry Twizzlers; firm but balanced toasted oak and chewy malt.

Palate: big, honeyed and malty with soft fruits and toasted oak; honey and vanilla with silky oak tannins; more waxy Starburst candies and Strawberry Twizzlers; floral with loads of citrus and pineapple. 

Finish: silky, coating, warming and medium-long in length; more honey, vanilla, flowers and waxy fruits.

Comment: if this is 7 years old, wow… regardless of age this is a very approachable cask strength whisky with lots of character at a very reasonable price!

Producer Tasting Note

Nose: Apple tart, pineapple brioche

Palate: The citrus hallmarks of Arran welcome you, and the sweet spice of cinnamon and vanilla promises a memorable dram.

Finish: Sweetness, Honey, Pineapple, Vanilla, Coconut.
