Nose
Vibrant orchard bouquet of green apple and pear, with lemon zest. Calvados cask influence pours warm apple-brandy spice—cinnamon and nutmeg—through vanilla cream and toasted oak. A bright, fruity lift with a hint of almond marzipan, finishing in a softly fragrant apple-woven glow. Intense and spicy: cinnamon, green grass apple pie. With water reminiscent of a Martinique rum: vegetal, green banana, toasted oak.
Palate
Intense and orchard-bright, this Calvados-finished Arran coats the palate with ripe apples and pear, edged by a kiss of caramel and vanilla. The 60.1% ABV delivers warming pepper and spice (cinnamon, clove), while the Calvados barrel imparts brandy-like fruitiness. Velvet texture gives way to creamy oak, a mineral lift, and a long, crisp apple finish that lingers with subtle orchard sweetness. Appley and intense. Fairly sweet and spicy. The grassy apple note continues.
Finish
Long, orchard-bright finish driven by the Calvados cask: crisp green apple and pear linger, entwined with warm vanilla, spice and toasted oak. A touch of citrus threads through, fading slowly to a refined apple-skin tang that that leaves a warm, persistent glow on the palate. Nutty.
