Whisky review : The Arran Single Sherry Cask. Cask 1096 Bott. 181/318. 10 years old, bottled @ 55.1%

-Another great cask finish by Arran !
-Good price
-matured in Sassacaia red wine cask.

Colour: light rusted water, touches of copper. very light and bright. No colouring, oily and very thick.

Nose: thick butter caramel, spirity notes, hints of red wine, port wine, spices, spiced caramel, still not too rough for a cask strength.

Mouth: caramel, light sherry, vague floral port wine, creamy toffee, thick flavours, still smooth, no need for water here. Juicy,

Finish:  very short. The point here is not the finish, it's in the palate. Still, sweet notes, hints of small red fruits.

A for the price. for 66$, definitely worth a try. Another great product from Arran.
B+ for the taste. Very thick caramel profile. Very nice indeed.
A for presentation. Handwriting always gets me ! Arran also shows the product just as it is, in a simple yet effective manner.
