TASTING NOTE: The latest release in Arran’s expansive cask finish programme has been matured for eight years in conventional ex-Bourbon barrels before spending six months in 20 casks previously used to mature wine from the Château La Conseillante in the Pomerol region of Bordeaux ... The nose offers almonds and marzipan, with plums and spicy, red wine. Spicy on the palate, with raspberry, fudge and notes of pepper. Persistently spicy and gingery in the finish. Score: 3 stars (out of 5) (Gavin D. Smith & Tom Cannavan, www.whisky-pages.com, Undated) |
