Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: creamy, fruity, decadent, and malty; chocolate marzipan, smores, and almond paste croissants; jujubes, wine gums, and blue whales (candy); orange, melons, and Glosset Raisins; creamed honey and carrot cake with cream cheese icing.

Palate: soft, decadent, and fruity; juicy malt, crisp oak spices, and barley sugars; more jujubes, wine gums, and blue whales; whipped cream, chocolate marzipan, and smores; candied orange, crèma di Limone, and candied ginger; Jelly Modern’s carrot cake doughnut and honeycomb.

Finish: warming, toasty, fruity, and honeyed; medium long and coating, soft citrus fruit candies, honey, vanilla and chocolate.

Comment: sweet, fruity, and elegant, this is a lovely Arran malt; dangerously drinkable at cask strength.
