Nose: Rich, with classic Arran apple notes. Lots of orange peel, tart citrus and sweet oak. Palate: Rich, full-bodied and unctuous. Abundant orange peel and bitter citrus. Slight hints of vanilla brioche and dark chocolate. Finish: Smooth and long. Coats the mouth. Again, lots of citrus, more oaky with age, with a subtle touch of dark chocolate and black cherries.
Nose: Subtle aromas of ripe fruit and vanilla emerge delicately. Mouth: A rich, creamy texture, with notes of cereal and caramel. Finish: A soft, lingering finish, leaving a light spicy touch on the palate.
Nose: Sweet and rich, with fruity aromas suggesting baked apple, pear and peach. These are soon joined by a rich caramel note, reminiscent of sweet butterscotch. All these aromas are mellow, round and mouth-watering.
Mouth: Firm and full-bodied, richly fruity from the start, the powerful, fresh taste soon becomes deliciously sweet and salty, with a hint of salt amid the spicy intensity.
Finish: Quite long, it finishes smoothly, dry, slightly spicy and slightly refreshing.
This 14-year-old single malt whisky is an enigma in which the aromas and even the flavor continually evolve. A complex and interesting blend with a smooth palate and a bitter finish.
