Arran 16 Year Old - Single Cask (Master of Malt) 55.4%

My immediate thought when nosing was that this is very malty, then there's a spicy ginger note which is quickly followed by softer notes; gentle honey and some orange blossom. There is also herbal note that I couldn't put my finger on. After a little time to air I stated to get some sultanas and green grapes On the palate there's an initial sweet note which slowly builds with spicy ginger. There is a definite wine like note although I'm not familiar with many white wines, especially sweet Gewurtztraminer. The ginger remains and gently fades with the faintest note of cinnamon while leaving a peppery tingle on the middle of the tongue and sweetness towards the back of the tongue. I'm beginning to become a bit of a fan of whisky from the Isle of Arran and this single cask from Master of Malt is another fine example. Dave Worthington Whisky Discovery
