Arran Single Malt The Sherry Cask Finish

Arran is always a safe bet. It is very difficult that you will be dissapointed when buying a bottle from this Lochranza distillery. Having said that, they have change their bottle marketing and i really don't like it, that is why i am avoiding the new expressions and i am first trying everything from the older labels. This Sherry Cask Finish, is an Oloroso Sherry maturation, bottled at 46%abv, with a nice golden color. On the nose, chocolate milk formula, hazelnut, Hanuta, floral notes, ginger and Nesquik. It changes a little after having a couple of sips, with raisins and dehydrated fruits. On the palate it is a good dram, not overly appealing. Red fruits, chocolate, milk, vanilla, oranges. Not great, not bad at all. Aftertaste is very woody. Sawdust, ginger; super dry finish. More sips gave me salt, sulphur and metallic notes. There is also some pepper. Overall this one feels like a more alcoholic / liquor Glendronach. That is a good way to describe it, maybe a little young, it is a nice offering. Not the best Arran, not a bad whisky at all, my score for it is 87 over 100.

Nose : Fruits (pear, apple, lemon) are at the forefront, followed by vanilla. The alcool is strong in the nose, tingling at bit. Taste : Pretty oaky and malty, with a bit of lemon peel. Finish : Finish is not too long, with an importance on the lemon. Good bottle, but it feels too young at the taste.

Très bon! Belle finale. On goûte un peu le vin et un peu le scotch. Belle trouvaille. Me donne le goût de découvrir cette distillerie. Goûté chez Roch L. en 2018-12.

피니시가 중간에 뚝 끊긴다. 달콤함과 새콤한 중간에 살구향이 나며, 향을 풍성하게 하기 위해 코냑 잔에 물을 스포이드로 6방울 정도 떨어트리며 마셨다.

Nice. Was too sweet for what I wanted but very nice. Sweet and soft tasting

Complex and interesring taste. Great and not for every day drinking
