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.
rich, deep. pears, complex fruitiness. malty, toffee. sherry. wonderful dusty barrels. 80/20 bourbon/sherry, I believe. splash of water, 25mins, it's chocolate heaven, auntie Mo. one of the finest drams out there. and that's some price. ~ ~ Respect ~
The best whisky ever tasted. Bought on tour of distillery.
Bought a bottle after a distillery tour and tasting. Tried most of the range and really enjoyed. Light and herby on nosing with a green apple flavour. I have ordered more!!
For the price, and the nose/favour which hits you with green apples and other sharp fruit, it's well worth it. Lovely.
When I read these comments about Arran 10 yo, together with the fact that its unchillfiltered, Natural colour and 46 abv, there was no thought in my mind that This whisky could be bad. To be honest, it's not all bad, but defenitly not good as well, in my opinion. It is pretty sharp in the palate and has not much, not to day no, depth. I am really disappointed and worked my way through the bottle by using it for Irish Coffee!!! Which I never did with any whisky before. No more Arran stuff for me, until a future tasting convinces me of the good taste of other bottlings of Arran.
