Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: chocolate sauce, thick caramel, candied fruit and fig jam; soft leather, fruit cake and apple strudel with whipped cream; the feel on the nose is silky, there are layers I can't even reach... but the pleasure is in the effort.
Palate: big, rich, candied and fruity; chocolate sauce, more rich caramel, Jujubes and orange peels pulled from an Old Fashioned cocktail; bags of fruit, more figs, citrus and white fruits: the apple strudel with whipped cream is still there.
Finish: long, soft and creamy; more fruits, Jujubes, caramel, vanilla and whipped cream.
Comment: simply lovely; silky, fruity, honeyed and decadent; this is a flawless single cask of Arran, and a dangerously drinkable one at that!
Producer’s Tasting Note
Nose: Ripe plum, strawberry, creamy vanilla and caramel.
Palate: Hints of almonds, black tea, mineral notes with more sherry influence.
Finish: Long and sweet with marzipan and honey.
