Very pale yellow colour. Faintly peppery slightly honeyed, spicy, ripe lemon nose with some caramel notes. Assertive, flavourful, well balanced, bright, medium bodied, dry, ripe, plum, lemon-tinged flavours with a hint of caramel on the lingering finish. Better than when it last appeared in Vintages (**) on January 21, 2012 at $39.95. |

TASTING NOTE: Fresh and fruity on the nose in classic Arran style, with pears, toffee apple, and vanilla. Cinnamon and ginger notes develop in time. Sweet and honeyed on the palate, medium-bodied, with well-mannered background sherry lingering into the spicy finish. 3 Stars (out of 5). (Gavin D. Smith, 1001 Whiskies You Must Taste Before You Die, 2012) |
