Andrew' Tasting Note
Nose: rich, fruity and earthy; candied nuts, fruit leather and Caramilk; sticky toffee pudding with treacle sauce and cream; dried apricots, mango and papaya; maple syrup on Chocolate Chip Brioche French Toast.
Palate: thick, round and fruity; really oily; more Chocolate Chip Brioche French Toast with maple syrup; big, oily and rich; Christmas cake, melons, tropical fruits, licorice Jujubes and sticky toffee pudding with treacle sauce drowning in cream; stewed fruits and mixed berry jam.
Finish: big, long and rich; chocolate-y, fruity and smooth with more licorice Jujubes.
Comment: this is to date, the oldest Arran I've ever sampled, and it doesn't disappoint; thick, oily and sherried with lots of layers; a fine bottling and a flawless sherry cask.
