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
Colour
Sun-kissed amber-gold with a honey-wax gloss and coppery undertone, a luminous hue that feels dessert-bright and inviting, like liquid sunset in a glass.
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.
Palate
Rich, waxy citrus and honeyed fruit lead the palate, with orange marmalade and apricot notes unfolding over a creamy, vanilla-tinged base. Sweetness glides through a bright, balanced finish with subtle spice, echoing dessert-wine richness without heaviness.
Finish
An opulent, dessert-like finish of waxy citrus and honeyed fruit, with apricot and marmalade notes drifting into a warm, lingering sweetness.
