Isle of Arran Distillery Virtual Tasting Event – Age of Distinction (The Whisky Company).
First 15 ml sample of the night (1/7)
N- buttery biscuit, malt, apple freshness, something vegetal maybe herby or grassy.
P- Malty, warm, buttery digestives, crisp apple fruit sweetness, vanilla notes are gentle. Something akin to a gooseberry note from a white wine.
F-long. lingering sticky ginger and brown sugar.
Distiller whisky taste #37
A week later and a full pour reveals a little acidity on the nose that I had missed before. It’s a pleasant find along with some light honey and melon. I’d go a little further to say that the palate is juicy and refreshing as the fruit notes plump up and are underscored by a hint of cinnamon and ginger warmth in the finish.
The distiller “official” rating needs a medical examination. Someone wasn’t right in the head when they posted that…

I hear you Dr, I reference members here to figure my potential enjoyment of any given whiskey over ( professional reviews)
@Ctrexman I’ve stopped reading the “official reviews”. Seems like they are so variable and inconsistent that become entirely misleading. Few people on here who are seemingly consistent, objective, knowledgeable, and dialled in to what they are drinking. This community offers up the best spectrum of useful content.
The written review seems like a higher score than the rating but yeah bogus nontheless
