One of two Arran casks exclusively bottled for KWM, both 18 year olds distilled in 1996. They were filled into cask and bottled on the same day, selected by and bottled exclusively for our shop. At the time of bottling, these casks were the two oldest bottlings ever from the distillery, which was only established in 1995. There are just 87 bottles filled at 53.2%, as we split the cask with a client. Matured in a Sherry Hogshead, this is the lighter fruitier one!
700 mlAndrew's Tasting Note
Nose: chocolate mouse with strawberries and a raspberry coulee, garnished with powdered sugar; a hint of Christmas cake, Fruit Source bars and candied nuts; honey and vanilla with candied citrus.
Palate: still chocolaty with lots of citrus, big orange notes: both candied and peels; more dried fruits, Fruit Source bars, candied and crushed nuts with a hint of perfume and grassy malt; still chocolaty with a tad of leather and tobacco.
Finish: long, dried and fruity with fading spices and lots of fruit.
Comment: the more delicate, fruity and candied of the two 18 year old Arran casks at KWM.
