Nose:
Sherry, dark fruits, distance note of sea weed, caramel, vanilla, dried fruits, raisins, dried plumbs
Taste:
Smooth, hazelnut, little chocolate, oily, orange peal, Christmas cake, caramel, vanilla, sweet fruits
Finish:
Medium
Nosing:
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.
