Arran Barrel Reserve

Coconut!

So, i came back to the Scotch Whisky Museum on Edinburgh, and my favorite part is where the tour ends and they let you go into the majestic bar for a free tasting and some other paid jewels. One of the whiskies i have never tried, was this Arran Barrel Reserve, from one of my favorite distilleries, The Arran Malt. Bottled at 43%abv. On the nose, it was very floral. Heather, citric, spicy and chocolate notes. On the palate, it has toffee notes but also the classic pineapple heart from Arran. More sips revealed impalpable sugar. Aftertaste follows the same floral, heathery path, with some pepper spiciness. Overall, a very simple yet good expression fro Arran, i believe this might be one of their cheapest expressions and they still manage to deliver something enjoyable. Nothing to fancy though. My score for it is a solid 80 over 100.

Uninteresting taste, mainly get the alcohol

Nose very light citrus fruit.Pallet light and smooth, just a sipper. Nothing special, ok, but basic.
