Arran 14yr old. 46%, Non Chill Filtered, Natural Color
Arran is great in general. I really enjoyed the 10yr old but ended up giving it away to one of my friends who really enjoyed it after an evening of sampling whiskies. I was surprised at just how much more you get out of the 14yr old vs the 10yr. Both are very good but this 14 is really nice.
Smelling this is great – Fruit, Almonds, Grass, Honey, Vanilla, and Barley Sugar.
The Taste is vanilla, toffee, caramel apple, some sherried flavors (raisins, figs, spice, clove). With water the spice and clove really come out and the vanilla fades a bit. Very enjoyable neat or with water.
The Finish is medium with green apples, spice, clove and cinnamon.
I'm not sure this one is being produced anymore but all Arrans are good.
Overall Grade: B
