Isle of Arran 12 Tasting Note

Nose: Buttery, warm pastries, barley, toasty, thickly fruity, all sorts of fresh fruits, with a hint of acidity.
Palate: Malty and spicy, slightly briny. Arran's character is strong enough to show through, and integrates well with the fruit and tannins from the Margaux cask.
Finish: Toasty and spicy, lots of oak influence.
