Nose An intriguing mix of cherries, orange marmalade and honey cake, the nose triggers nostalgia for Hogmanay on Arran. The Arran character still shines through with lighter fruits and delicate floral jasmine notes.
Palate Creamy and complex with vanilla and sprinkles of sweet spice - cinnamon and nutmeg. Dark chocolate begins to emerge with cherries and figs giving a vibrant and luxurious mouthfeel. Water adds a layer of fresh fruit, with tropical notes of melon and banana in the background.
Finish A sensory delight, it is long lasting and rich. More fruity than sweet, the dark chocolate, cherries and orange are ever present. This is a bold dram, edgy without regret, and like our White Stag, a robust and powerful creature.
