Speyburn Arranta Casks

Rich with vanilla, quite strong, much like a muted bourbon.

Talk about a single malt bang for your buck! Great nose, complex palate, and even a long finish

Nose: Honey, light oak, parmesan, floral, mint tea Palate: Honey, coffee, hazelnut, spice Finish: Oak, honey The finish is medium and a little underwhelming, compares favorably to Ben Nevis 10yr.

Talk about a bang for the buck!

Fan of the 10 year and Bradan Orach this was next up the food chain. Poured neat , fresh red apple and wood with some good malt notes. Light and inviting. Palate is alive with fruity malt, some vanilla and heavy dose of oak. Must be the first fill casks coming through. Finishes with drying malt and oak, distant fading fruit (apple) and vanilla. This reminds me of Ancnoc 12 and Glenfiddich Bourbon barrel combined. Has the lively fruit and malt with the vanilla and oak. Dry finish but very fresh enjoyable scotch especially at $33. This is one I will repurchase............84/100.........really all the Speyburn line is good quality and value
