This sweeter side of Arran Single Malt makes an ideal dessert dram with complementary notes of apricots, melon and honeysuckle.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Honey sweetness and citrus
Palate: Richly honeyed and backed with a lifting zestiness which slides into spice and zingy salt. Once the dram opens out, vanilla and sultana stand out followed by notes of toasted oak.
Finish: Sweetness, Honey, Apricots, Melon, Honeysuckle.
“Dessert like aromas aren’t surprising with a Sauternes wine finish, so when you stick your nose in the glass, don’t be alarmed when your first thought is a Snickers candy bar. Nuts and caramel continue on the palate along with pistachios and pears. Though you get honey on the back end, the finish is on the dry side. At the end of the day, it satisfies.” – Stephanie Moreno, Distiller
