The Arran Malt

Single Malt Non Chill Filtered

ABV 46%

A curious inversion. As though the whisky (rich and sweet, but without penetrating flavours) provides the background, while the sherry and wood are the highlights.

Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Sun-scorched grass. Pistachio nuts. Dates.

Palate: Flowery. Fruity. Gingery. Sappy.

Finish: Powerful. Spicy. Oily. Becoming dry.

Comment: A curious inversion. As though the whisky (rich and sweet, but without penetrating flavours) provides the background, while the sherry and wood are the highlights.

Score: 7.8

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Fresh, young and lively. Green grapes, sour apple, crisp malt. Attractive but with a slight immaturity.

Palate: Softer than the nose suggests but full of the taut firmness of youth.

Finish: Clean. Malty.

Comment: Another interesting milestone in the evolution of what is obviously a fine distillery making good quality spirit.

Score: 7.3
