Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
Tasting Note by Stuart P
Nose
Big aromas of dates, damson jam and stewed fruit with a refreshing hint of greengage, too, then the sweetness follows: custard tarts, fresh pastries, orange marmalade and dark chocolate.
Palate
More elegant than the nose would suggest; nevertheless, the rich fruit takes centre stage, supported by candied orange peel and a welcome clean backnote. Rich and mouthfilling texture.
Finish
Nutty spice and cocoa powder.Comment: Amazing colour, heading towards PX Sherry territory. The perfect example of what a top-notch sherry cask can do to a whisky. So rich and alive, but refreshing, too.
Producer's Tasting Notes
This elegant sherried Arran is reminiscent of crème brûlee, with soft dried fruits and spice.
Unexpected soft floral notes intermingle with cinnamon, cloves and fruit-cake richness.
A lovely toasty oak note lingers under a layer of Arran's signature toffee-apple character.
