Arran Sauternes Cask Finish

DESCRIPTION:

The Arran Malt finished in Sauternes casks. These casks that previously held Bordeaux sweet wine give a honeyed sweetness to the isle of Arran’s only single malt distillery.

TASTING NOTES:

Nose: Initially acacia honey but then opening up to apricots, bananas and pears. With time a floral elegance presents itself.

Palate: Sweet but cut with warm spice. Lemon zest announces itself with the addition of water and a slight saltiness plays with this dram's sweet character.

Finish: Seville orange, Sauternes and an ounce of honey in a crisp finish.

Overall: Yet another successful cask-finish from this island distillery.
