This exquisite single malt from the Isle of Arran is first matured in ex-bourbon barrels before being finished in hand-selected casks that once held Sauternes, the luscious sweet wine from Bordeaux. The result is a beautifully rounded whisky, bottled at 50% ABV, unchillfiltered and naturally coloured.
On the nose, expect rich aromas of honey, peach, apricot, and melon, interwoven with floral hints, almonds, and soft vanilla.
The palate is smooth and full-bodied, offering notes of stone fruits, white chocolate, and gentle oak spice. The sweetness from the Sauternes casks is balanced by a refreshing acidity and light salinity.
The finish is long, elegant, and warming, with lingering notes of honey, citrus zest, and a soft, drying spice. A perfect after-dinner dram for those who appreciate a refined, fruit-forward whisky.
