Dried fruits, vanilla and toffee up front. With a little water a salty tang appears, with caramelised fruits indicating a depth of flavour to come.
Taste:
An initial burst of brine leads onto warming toffee apples and hazelnuts. This is followed by dates, chocolate orange and spiced tea cake. The mouthfeel is overwhelmingly rich and weighty.
Finish:
A trademark Arran finish with cinnamon spices leading back to where the experience began, with a classic island-style salty wave balancing the sweet fruit of the palate.

Finish: A little bit of


Comment: This was a very enjoyable whisky without any crazy frills, finishes or experimentation. Do you have a friend who prefers bourbon over scotch? Give them a dram of this, and unless they are on a strict budget, they'll never go back to Kentucky again!
