Description
This fine Whisky from Arran is not to be overlooked. It is every bit as rugged and welcoming as the charming island of its provenance. Easy-drinking perhaps, but still complex in its changing impression on the taste buds.

- Nose
- Deep, intoxicating coal tar that quickly mellows into creamy fudge. Very creamy, with hints of butter cream, shortbread, mixed with slightly sharper notes of paraffin and wet chalk. Subtle hints of floral honey. Plenty of yellow apples and melons, lemon custard and some green leafy notes. Hints of cornflakes and oranges too.
- Palate
- The confectionary theme is continued with nutty toffee to the fore, with toasted oats making their presence felt. Quite round, with a really nice texture. Hints of bright peaches and more apples, as well as custard and a mild nuttiness from the sherry. A toasted, almost smoky hint in the distance. Plenty of oats, with more cornflakes, hints of vanilla cake and toffee.
- Finish
- The finish slopes gently away, bearing caramelised brown sugar and dark berries. Medium length, showing some blonde sugar, citrus, malty notes and hints of tart berries.
