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.
Sharp even after air and little bit of water. Negative experience Taste horrible after a great Arran 10 years bottle.
First time I have tried an Arran single malt whisky. I was not to sure what to expect but I was not disappointed. Delicate taste with plenty of fruity highlights. Worth a try and not too expensive
Takes two cubes, or a little water to bring out the flavors in this one. But, once those are dispatched, a nice, light, vanilla and bit of peat flavor shows through.
This is just absolutely waste of money. Very harsh and no taste. I drain full bottle in sink after my first drink.
Smooth, interesting... Another fine dram from Arran.
