Nose: With a clear sherry aroma, the whiskey flatters the nose. He also brings blackberries and strawberries. Behind them are raisins and dates. Orange oil penetrates. Leather and fresh mint round off the aroma.
Palate: The Arran 26 Years from Cask 1997/844 is full-bodied and thick on the tongue. It tastes like tea and cloves. Cherries come through. Behind it are nuts and chocolate. Tobacco initiates the finish.
Finish: The finish is long-lasting. The single cask whiskey says goodbye with roasted malt and chocolate. It leaves behind fruit and oak after drinking.
