Tasting Notes
Arran 16 Year Old – Single Cask (Master of Malt) |
Nose: Fruity, sweet aromas with a slight, seaside twang.
Palate: Sweet Fudge with a smack of spice and vanilla. Finish: Short, spicy creamy finish. Overall: A lovely malt and very moreish. One where you’re likely to see the bottom of your glass sooner than you think! |
Many thanks to Master Of Malt for this sample.
