Isle of Arran Distillery Virtual Tasting Event – Age of Distinction (The Whisky Company).
Third 15 ml sample of the night (3/7)
N- refreshing and crisp, nuttiness-almonds, bit of malt,
P-dark chocolate, ginger, citrus, dark fruit and hazelnut
F- medium. a little bitter, stone fruits, bakery spice, chocolate fullness.
Very similar to the 10 and worlds apart from the intense sherry casking of the 18. The 21 gives more depth and complexity, fuller body and interesting soft hazelnut-chocolate notes in nose and palate. Hard to put down and layered with complexity. This 21 is easily recognisable as a progression of age from the 10. Less distinctive as it’s “own expression” compared to the 18.
