The 14 Year Old release from Arran, the 14 year old replaces the previous benchmark, the 12 year old which appeared in late 2008.
This was finished in fresh bourbon and sherry hogsheads 2 years before it was bottled where as has always been the case with Arran's malt, this has been neither coloured nor chill-filtered and has been bottled at a sensible drinking strength of 46%.

Nose: Fragrant and perfumed with peaches, brandy, and ginger snaps, plus vanilla and mild oak.
Palate: Smooth and creamy with spicy summer fruits, apricots, and hazelnuts.
Finish: A lingering finish with spice, slightly biscuity as it slowly dries with just a hint of salt.
