ARRAN 10-year-old 46%
Arran 10-year-old is a single malt that was launched in 2006 by the Arran distillery, this whisky's reputation is already well established, and it today considered the flagship whisky of this distillery. Non-chill filtered and without colouring, Arran 10 years is the result of a blend of malts aged in bourbon barrels for 60% and sherry for 40%, thus giving birth to a single malt full and creamy to perfection, with notes vanilla and spicy, which will delight lovers of full-bodied malts.
Nose : Light. A real confectionery: mint candies and salted butter caramel.
Palate : Fairly robust, notes of cinnamon blended with flavours of melons and candies.
Finish : Rather long, it remains rich and sweet. Vanilla softens the spices.
