Review by Arran

Colour

Light gold.

Nose

Lemon, citrus fruits and green apple.

Palate

Vanilla sweetness coats the palate with light cinnamon notes in the

background.

Finish

Lingering and subtle, with hints of sweet oak and a good balance between fruit and spice.

Note

Barrel Reserve is a fresh, vibrant expression of Arran Single Malt with the traditional hallmarks of classic Arran citrus and a delicious layer of vanilla sweetness.

100% matured in first-fill Bourbon Barrels. This expression combines casks at 7 - 8 years old with older casks to create a fresh and vibrant introduction to Arran Single Malt.

It is distilled and matured at Lochranza, lightly filtered and bottled at 43%. The colour is entirely natural.

We love the Barrel Reserve for its flexibility. It bottled at a slightly lower ABV of 43% and works equally well as a short serve, or in a longer drink.
