This Isle of Arran whisky exhibits spicy, malty flavours with these flavours coming from in a cask which previously held Madeira.
This expression is a special edition of Arran, matured for eight years in traditional oak before a finishing period of 10 months in Madeira casks.
Nose: Sweet from oranges. Hints of leather with a fresh croissant washed down with lapsang souchong.
Palate: Rich. The orange notes persist throughout the palate, with even more zest. Toffee every now and then and balancing dry-grape tannins.
Finish: Long and delicately smoky, toffee.
