What's in a name? Arran 10 Year Old whisky is called whisky because it's produced in Scotland. Were it from America it would be spelled Arran 10 Year Old whiskey, rather than whisky.
Nose: Herbal, biscuity, hedgerow greenness and dried grass, like a long English summer's afternoon. Palate: Sweet. Quite malty, digestive biscuits, followed by green fruits and Cox's apple peel. Finish: Slightly bitter, maltiness.

Not the best
It might be to some people's taste, but it's not for me. It doesn't have much to it but doesn't seem to cope with the "alcohol" very well, in a sort of mouthwash-type way. There are better malts out there for the same money
Different but in a nice way....
Sweet character full character with what I can only say is an "ultra dry finish" definately a love it or hate it thing. I like variety and this one is interestingly different yet not overly so. Think "dry" Glengoyne or Aberlour.

(Fin)Kannattaa kokeilla.
Lovely
I love this whisky. Very aromatic with lots of grape on the nose. The flavour is rich and malty with fruit and licorice. A bit sharp, perhaps, but excellent overall.

I like this whiskey a lot, delicate, and aromatic. I can see why another reviewer gave it low marks and said 'it doesn't have much to it' - because it is very soft and light. I love it for contrast. It is a whiskey I will start an evening with, a long time before I hit the peated Islay malts!
