Tasting Notes

"Arran stands alone on an island, both physically and metaphorically, in terms of its taste profile. Arran is a bit of an anomaly: the nose offers a blossom of peat without even a hint of smoke. It’s bright and crisp, two characteristics that mark the first impression on the palate, but the liveliness vanishes to make way for richer sweet notes evocative of candied almonds and raw vanilla. The vanilla intensifies and darkens to dominate the insistent, finish, even when a sour, ever-so-slightly-smoky tang sneaks in for a quick cameo. Evidently, that initial brightness was a tease, but this malt’s slight-of-hand is as intriguing as a Vegas magician."
