Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
THE ARRAN MALT |
One of 64 items (56% of 116 releases) not presented for evaluation under new LCBO policies. This repeat last appeared in Vintages (***) on February 17, 2018 at $89.95 and was an Explorer Selection. Here is my previous note: Very light golden yellow colour. Intense, spicy, somewhat peppery, plummy, caramel nose. Very dry, medium bodied, faintly peppery, very spicy, slightly honeyed, tangy, lemony, plum-apple flavours with a lingering, very crisp, caramel-tinged finish. Has 46% alcohol. |

TASTING NOTE: A superb whisky, but the evidence that there has been a subtle shift in emphasis, with the oak now taking too keen an interest, is easily attained. Score - 89.5 (Jim Murray, Whisky Bible, 2019) |
