Arran Description
The colour is straw yellow.
On the nose the whisky presents itself with a rather intense cigarette smoke, accompanied by a hint of burnt wood and a spicy note of white pepper, cloves and nutmeg on a note of fat dripping from a hot grill. A scent of hay and a touch of walnut are the prelude to the turning point, with the smoke fading to give way first to impressions of leather, pipe tobacco and coffee beans, and then to a creamy vin santo. As we continue our olfactory examination, we notice the emergence of a herbaceous trait that brings to mind, in some ways, the old edition of the 10yo, to which is added a citrus scent that can be traced back to cedar.
On the palate, we expected an equally intense beginning of cigarette smoke, but we are surprised: the peat note is now just a hint, a thin ribbon linking impressions of custard and coffee beans covered in dark chocolate, with a sprinkling of white pepper to enliven the picture. Along the length there is again a citrus reflex, this time of mandarin zest.
The medium persistent finish brings us back to the smoke that greeted us at the entrance, with just a touch of pepper.
