Arran Moscatel De Setubal Wine Casks Whisky 8 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber-gold with coppery glints and warm mahogany undertones.

Nose

Perfumed, Muscat-driven aroma rich with sun-kissed apricot and orange blossom, entwined with honeyed peach and marmalade. Dried fruit notes—raisin, fig, sultana—linger, while vanilla and almond from the cask lend creamy toffee and waxy depth. A whisper of cinnamon and clove frames the wine-soaked fruit, yielding a lush, luxurious nose.

Palate

Luxuriously velvety, the palate unfolds with rich apricot and honeyed marmalade, layered with sultana and fig. Notes of orange blossom, almond and warm spice mingle with a gentle oak backbone, countering the sweetness with raisin and toffee. Full-bodied, creamy enough to coat the tongue, yet crisp at the edges. Long, opulent finish of citrus zest, lingering spice and a faint sherry-derived nuttiness.

Finish

Opulent, lingering finish of honeyed orange zest, fig and raisin, with almond and toffee under a velvet fruit sweetness. Moscatel-driven warmth threads through gentle spice and warm oak, tapering to a refined, peppery fade.
