Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery hues and a touch of mahogany, a sunlit glow that hints at rich sherry-influenced cask aging.
Nose
Sun-warmed barley and creamy vanilla unfold first, brightened by orchard fruits and citrus zest. Sherry cask influence brings dark fig, raisin and almond, with toffee and spice in refined balance. A delicate coastal salt note lingers, lending maritime elegance to this Arran Connoisseurs Choice dram.
Palate
Silky on the palate, this Arran unfolds with honeyed orchard fruit, lemon zest, and vanilla. A gentle spice lifts the mid-palate, while subtle toasty oak lends depth. Sherry-influenced warmth brings dried fruit, cocoa, and a kiss of nutty notes. The finish is long and refined, balancing sweetness with a warm oak glow.
Finish
Long, wreathed in spice and sherry, the finish reveals dried fruit, orange zest, cocoa and toasted almond, with a salty ribbon of sea air and vanilla lingering gracefully.
