Featured in the 1001 Whiskies you must try before you die book
Sauternes is a sweet pudding wine from Bordeaux, France and the very finest bottles sell for over £100 a bottle and like the other core three finishes in the Arran range spend most of the maturation time in ex bourbon casks for about 8 years and then finished in the wine cask for 6-9 months. Here the sweet wine casks add rich waxy citrus and honeyed fruit notes for a sweeter dessert style dram.

Tasting Notes
Nose
Opulent waxy citrus and honeyed fruit rise from the glass, with apricot, marmalade and peach framed by vanilla and soft oak. The Sauternes finish adds lush sweetness, a sun-warmed, dessert-like perfume that lingers with refined elegance.
