Arran 10 Year

It is a very interesting dram as the typical Speyside prettiness, sweetness, and fruitiness is all there yet it is from the islands. There is brininess playing the underdog and some spice for kick. Overall a decent dram that will boggle your mind a little if you like to play blind tasting.

On nose: very fresh, citrus, light banana. On palate: sweet, banana, raisins, pungent spices. Aftertaste: spice, bitterness, sweetness (raisin) With water: less spicy, more fruity but very weak aftertaste.

I like it. For the price ($45) it is a solid Whiskey.

Nose: 3,5* Full, red fruits, vanilla, salt, hay Palate: 3,75* Strawberry jam, biscuits, honey Finish: 3,5* Medium long, slight burst of smoke, honey lingers

One of my favourite scotches under 100. Very good price point

ココナッツ味がどうも受け入れられず、好みのウイスキーではなかった。 I don’t like Coconut taste, so this whiskey can’t be my favorite one.

Nose: slightly floral, slightly sherried, chocolate, slightly punchy Body: starts very smooth, followed by spice and maybe a hint of salt. Firey. Palate: very dark chocolate, citrus, dark fruit and spice, hints of oak, Finish: spicy, okay, mouth-coating
