Was really surprised by this one. As part of our Scottish distillery trading team, Scott generously provided this sample. Honestly, I never even heard of Arran...But I was so pleasantly surprised by this. if you like Talisker 10, but wished it was just a tad milder, this here is just for you. Sweet briny, but not too much...almost like you had a piece of cotton candy lightly immersed in salt. My wife has threatened to divorce me if I buy another bottle, otherwise this would be on my purchase list. ( I have 300+ bottles collected over 15 years...but barely consume one bottle every 6 months...it's a severe disproportionate intake to consumption ratio). Thanks Scott for this! Hey Paul---I've just one left before I'm done with round 2. Where you at?

I got the greedy angels. Reviewed it last night. I didn't get the outryder or the Swiss one
That's right----you didn't get the Greedy Angels, because of my rather questionable packing skills. That one didn't make it one piece.
I liked this one a lot too. I have one official sample left and 3 bonus samples. Of course I did not get all 4 of the bonuses you sent everyone else because of box limitations, but I'm not worried about that.
Nice review, and as a huge Talisker 10 aficionado I may have to try to find this (a higher abv version of T10 sounds like my ideal dram). By the way, any interest in trading samples? I've traded with a few others here on Distiller and love that feature of this community. I'm at [email protected], thanks!
