Officially launched in 2006, this 10 year old lies at the heart of the Isle of Arran range and exudes all the honeyed richness we have come to associate with the island distillery.
Herbal, biscuity, hedgerow greenness and dried grass, like a long English summer's afternoon.
Sweet. Quite malty, digestive biscuits, followed by green fruits and Cox's apple peel.
Slightly bitter, maltiness.
Lovely dram. 46% ucf natural colour 10yrs old £34!!
A beautiful whiskey. I do like a Speyside but was referred to the Arran to try. Top Mark's as its a lovely easy drinking spirit.
Nothing special, very fresh and has no unpleasant tastes. Very clean with some coastal feeling. One of the best in the price range.
Probably my favourite sub £70 dram going. Better, in my opinion, than Arran's 14 AND 18 year old expressions. It's their signature whisky for a reason, because it's bloody brilliant. However, the recent rebranding has definitely left me a little dispirited (pardon the pun) with the The Arran Malt - there was just no need for it and it is visually a huge step backwards for me, shame.
Interesting Dram this, Quite fresh and summery with a heathery feel. smooth on palate and a nice bit of fruit. A bith of burn even with water on the finish but still holds its own. Probably could do with a little longer in barrel, but very nice. going to enjoy this bottle. gb
