TASTING NOTES - ARRAN 17YO LIMITED EDITION

Nose

Interesting and deep, yet fresh and vibrant. The sherry notes are present and high, vivid, with bloody orange and strawberry jam, ripe plums and raisins. At the same time secondary notes of butterscotch, toasted oak and creamy banana are also quite evident, yet well integrated with the fruity part. The ex-bourbon barrels have proven to be quite active, while the sherry casks are more levigated and refined. Nice, wide palette.

Palate

Rounded, yet with an unexpected slight fragrant spicy kick at the end. It starts with mellow yellow fruit notes, golden plums and ripe peaches, sided by some currant and raspberry. Sweet, with high quality vanilla, yet at the end an acidic fresh ginger note makes it very interesting and fresher than expected for a 17yo product.

Finish

Medium-long, juicy, well balanced between acidic and sweet components.

Arran 17yo Limited Edition is a wide palette product, rich and complex. The influence of the combinations of casks is evident, with both sherry notes as well as even more evident fresh bourbon casks aromas. Creamy and long lasting, yet fresh and vibrant for a 17yo product. Another success for a distillery which has been on spot for quite some time now.
