Cask Types – Sherry Hogshead & Sherry Puncheon

ABV: 53.8% Vol

Tasting Notes

Nose: Fruit and floral notes are dominant with a little touch of sweet spice.  A note of baked apple pie is balanced by a hint of lemon meringue and a delicious promise of something powerful and expressive.

Palate: Zesty and bright with an enveloping sense of fresh island character.  Delicate oak gives this whisky a complexity which gives way to wonderful rich and rewarding fruit with a drop of water.  Citrus fruits develop more towards pear and tropical melon with a sweetness that grows with each sip.

Finish: A fruit cocktail with incredible complexity.  This is an intense yet light Arran Single Malt which remains long on the palate long after the last sip.  The true spirit of Lochranza lives long through its whisky.  Allow yourself to sip and remember times spend on our beautiful island.
