Arran Sauternes Cask Finish

Short Description

Whisky Malt Arran Sauternes Cask Finish An interesting entry in the Arran Cask Finishes range, with the spirit spending the last few years of its maturation in a Sauternes sweet wine cask. 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. Expect some sweet grapey notes as well as some tasty woody spice. -Tasting Notes: 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. Size : 70cl Alc: 50%volRegion : Island NB: Licensing restrictions prevent shipment to areas outside the United Kingdom
