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.
