An entirely bourbon-matured bottle of Arran single malt! After its distillation on the eponymous island, Barrel Reserve is matured exclusively in first-fill bourbon barrels, bottled at 43% ABV and presented in this rather handsome glass vessel (otherwise known as a bottle).
Fresh grass sweetness, lemon tart, biscuity malt and tart apple skin.
Malty, with Curiously Cinnamon cereal, vanilla fudge and green apple alongside a faint sea breeze.
Vanilla oak and lots of aromatic spice, with salted caramel and a handful of orchard fruit.
A great find from my local whisky shop. Like other reviewers, I purchased this on a whim. Very surprised, there will be a bottle in my cabinet. Very crisp, a bit tart but a nice "neat" dram.
Bought this today on a whim and it didn't dissapoint. Unbelievably good for the price, smooth, goes down way to easily! Summery, as the reviewer below says, but it's warming me from the inside right now on a cold winter's evening.
Arrans new no age statement barrel reserve this drop is delicious, sweet lemony nose and green apples its taste is fresh vanilla but green apples and tart fruits with a hint of barrel spice. Non chill filtered and not colored I have nothing but respect for this Distillery.
Very light, for something at 43% , refreshing even, citrus but delicate, with a nice finish.
Like all Arran whisky, this is so drinkable.
