Arran Barrel Reserve

As for me 10Y version is more interesting.

Nose: Crisp, citrus, crabapple, sweet malt Palate: Thin mouthfeel, sweet and a little bit hot. Lemon meringue pie, vanilla and green apple. Finish: Malty with a bit of sea breeze. Fades fairly quickly. Clean, crisp and satisfying. Perfect for a summer night on the beach. I'm sampling this along with Lagavulin 16 and they are about a polar opposite as you can get in every way. A Scottish island yin yang and somehow the contrast brings out the best in each one.

Crisp apple, rounded and light. Tinge of caramel and sweet warmth.

First taste is apricot with some green apple and lemon. The mouthfeel is smooth and buttery. Finishes on a more peppery note and is long and lasting. Overall this is a very pleasant scotch to sip.

Nose: fruity & floral, light Palate: lightly fruity, citrus Finish: fruity, spicy and dry like a sea breeze. Nez: fruité, floral, léger en nez Bouche: légèrement fruité, note d’agrumes Longueur: fruité, épicé et sec comme une brise saline
