Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery mahogany highlights.
Nose
Sherry-soaked prune and raisin lead the nose, with velvety dark chocolate and toasted nuts unfolding beside a warm kiss of oak spice. Bold, inviting and richly fruit-forward, hinting at the cask-strength intensity.
Palate
Bold and full-bodied on the palate, this Arran sherry-cask delivers prune and raisin sweetness with dark chocolate and toasted nuts. Rich fruitcake notes unfold over oak spice—cinnamon, clove and toasted wood—leading into a warming, cask-strength glow. The finish lingers with dried fruit, cocoa and a touch of timber.
Finish
Long, sumptuous finish melding prune and raisin with dark chocolate, toasted nuts and oak spice. The sherry cask lingers, leaving a warming, nutty echo that gently dries into a refined, spice-kissed afterglow.
