Arran Millennium Casks Limited Edition Cask Strength Single Malt. Isle of Arran, Scotland. ABV: 53.50%. Tasted at home, $199 (bottle).
Colour: Golden apple juice colour.
Nose: A bit of a prickle, some buttery toffee and citrus notes. Actually it’s a little reminiscent of when you open up a packet of Butter Menthols.
Palate: Very rich. Tart raspberries, quite meaty too – not overly smokey, but has some beautiful flavours like a big juicy barbecued steak. Amazing stuff.
Finish: Very long; lots of warmth that fills the front half of the mouth in particular.
Comments: I’m loving the Arran whiskies I’ve tried so far this year, it really is a distillery that is fast becoming one of my favourites. I hadn’t tried any Arrans prior to starting Whisky a Day, but now I’m actively seeking them out as they are so rich, flavoursome and damn sexy. Wow.
