Arran
Sauternes Cask Finish Whisky
Customer Rating
“Liquid white grape compote on the nose, palate and the finish, but so rounded it doesn't feel one dimensional. Add small shot of water to calm it down (or not) and enjoy. ”

Description
The Arran Malt finished in Sauternes casks. These casks that previously held Bordeaux sweet wine give a honeyed sweetness to the isle of Arran’s only single malt distillery.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Initially acacia honey but then opening up to apricots, bananas and pears. With time a floral elegance presents itself.
Palate
Sweet but cut with warm spice. Lemon zest announces itself with the addition of water and a slight saltiness plays with this dram's sweet character.
Finish
Seville orange, Sauternes and an ounce of honey in a crisp finish.
Overall
Yet another successful cask-finish from this island distillery.
