Arran 10 Year

Sweet with a bite.

Wow! This is great stuff, the Distiller expert rating and the average rating here are misleading. Clean and fresh nose, a lovely creamy texture, green apples, cereal, honey, lemon peel and sea salt on the palate followed by a sour finish that slowly turns dry. 46% ABV, non-chillfiltered, natural colour. I'm falling in love with Arran, cheers fellow addicts!

It’s nice to see new distilleries still making honest whisky. Age statement, 46%, non-chillfiltered, a clear bottle that does not hide its pale beauty, and a faint meaty bold Mortlachian, Craigellachian character lurking in a slyly light body. Grassy, walnuts, cereal, and underripe melons and coconuts on the nose. On the palate, somehow light and oily at the same time. A little salt and tanginess makes it pop. A definite mineral finish with vanilla and a complementary slight Sulphur. I recently opened this bottle, and I am impressed so far. I will be enjoying this and, probably, plenty more Arran expressions in the future. Presumptive mark: 86/100

Quite sweet...smooth for a 10 year. This was the Malt of the Month at the Parkville in Blantyre, Scotland.
