Arran 17 Year Old Tasting Notes

Producer's Tasting Notes:

Colour: Antique Gold with copper highlights.

Nose: Rich, warm spices with notes of candied citrus peel, tinned mandarins and golden syrup. The classic Arran orchard notes of red apple are there with a luxurious layer of honey.

Taste: Plenty of sweet spice with cigar tobacco. A splash of water reveals dark chocolate and orange oil adding depth to this decadent dram.

Finish: The warmth of the spice lingers on with the classic Sherry wood character coming to the fore, and slightest puff of bonfire smoke in the tail. The Arran Malt; sophisticated at seventeen.


The Devil's Punchbowl III Coming soon!
I am sure many of you will not want to miss the third and final instalment of The Devil's Punchbowl Trilogy which is expected to be released at the end of June 2014. Will it be a heavenly end to this Devilish Trilogy, we will find out in June.
