Arran Cask Strength 1st Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old

Colour

Rich golden amber with coppery-bronze highlights and a honeyed, sunlit glow.

Nose

Sherry-kissed and richly fruity, this Arran nose unfolds with dark plum and fig, raisins and cocoa, touched by orange zest and almond. A cinnamon-vanilla warmth rests on toasted oak, while a maritime breeze adds salt-kissed nuance to the sweetness, creating an opulent, inviting prelude to the cask-strength palate.

Palate

Powerful and opulent, the palate arrives with cask-strength warmth and waves of spice and sweetness. Rich vanilla and honey cloak the tongue, while dried orchard fruits, orange zest, and toffee rise beneath a sturdy oak backbone. Cinnamon and clove ignite peppery heat, finishing long, warm, and elegantly balanced with a hint of charred wood.

Finish

Long, warming finish with a bountiful sherry undercurrent. Dried fruit compote of raisin and orange zest gives way to dark chocolate, espresso-esque depth, and toasted oak. A delicate peppery bite lingers, mingled with a touch of maritime salt, fading to a velvety warmth that coats the tongue and lingers gracefully.
