| ... Stylistically, Sauternes gives us a real contrast with the amarone finish and the port finish, explains Isle of Arran managing director Euan Mitchell in 1001 Whiskies You Must Taste Before You Die, 2012. TASTING NOTE: Grassy on the nose, with lemon, melon, and a sweet, marzipan note, plus nuts and spices. Mouth-coating, with a palate of baked apple tart, honey, and vanilla. (Gavin D. Smith, 1001 Whiskies You Must Taste Before You Die, 2012) |
