Review by Arran

Colour

Gold Bullion

Nose

Richly honeyed and backed with a lifting zestiness which slides into spice and zingy salt. Once the dram opens out, vanilla and sultana stand out followed by notes of toasted oak.

Palate

Sweetness, Honey, Apricots, Melon, Honeysuckle.

Note

A glorious combination of voluptuous Sauternes and snake-hipped Arran Malt - a richly rewarding partnership. Ideal dessert dram.

After initially maturing in traditional oak casks for approximately 8 years, The Arran Single Malt in this bottling was finished in a selection of Sauternes wine casks sourced from an artisan producer of this iconic Bordeaux sweet white wine. Our Master Distiller, James MacTaggart, has carefully monitored this period of secondary maturation to ensure the perfect balance is struck between the Sauternes casks and the intrinsic sweet-fruity character of The Arran Malt. The end result is a Single Malt full of charm, complexity and quality.
