Description

An interesting entry in the Arran Cask Finishes range, with the spirit spending the last few years of its maturation in a Sauternes sweet wine cask.

The Arran Malt finished in Sauternes casks. These casks that previously held Bordeaux sweet wine give a honeyed sweetness to the isle of Arran’s only single malt distillery.

Expect some sweet grapey notes as well as some tasty woody spice.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Initially acacia honey but then opening up to apricots, bananas and pears. With time a floral elegance presents itself.

 Palate: Sweet but cut with warm spice. Lemon zest announces itself with the addition of water and a slight saltiness plays with this dram’s sweet character.

 Finish: Seville orange, Sauternes and an ounce of honey in a crisp finish.

 Overall: Yet another successful cask-finish from this island distillery.

Size : 70cl             Alc: 50%vol
