Arran Quarter Cask "The Bothy"

powerful vanilla, spicy

First taste of vanilla followed by a spicy ness.

Nose: Young and sprite nose. Bright citrus, warm vanilla and spicey oak notes are present. Palate: Full mouthfeel. Caramel, honey and stone fruits dance around the palate. On the back end comes a bit of dry oak spice that disappears on the finish. Finish: Medium long finish. Initially spicey but as the spice simmers out a rich sweetness lingers on the tongue.

A- amber -1, high viscosity N- w/water: lemons, orange peels, sultanas, honey, vanilla P- w/water: spicy arrival a bit hot and sharp on the edges, full, rich, honey, vanilla, tangerine, lemon, orange peels, cinnamon, pepper, briny, dry oak F- long finish, sweet-fruity-dry aftertaste C- good dram! but a bit too hot, sharp and dry for my taste, will let it seat for 2 more months and see what happens
