Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |

ISLE OF ARRAN DISTILLERS |
Bright pale yellow colour. Intense, faintly peppery, slightly honeyed, gently spicy, ripe lemon nose with some caramel-vanilla notes. Dry, medium bodied, well balanced, very bright, slightly spicy, ripe plummy lemon-tinged flavours with hints of caramel and honey on the lingering finish. Better than when it last appeared in Vintages (***) on January 10, 2015 at $44.95 and was Recommended Best Buy. |

TASTING NOTE: Independent distiller Isle of Arran, patron of the World Burns Federation, is the only whisky-maker to use the poet's image. Though he spent no time on Arran and had no connection with this producer, founded in the 1990s, he was born not far away, in Ayrshire on the west coast. There's a pronounced note of pear here, followed by vanilla, honey-lemon tea and soda bread. A delicate dram for early evening. Score - 90 (Beppi Crosariol, The Globe and Mail, Jan. 23, 2013) |
