Arran Sauternes Cask Finish represents the sweeter side of Arran Single Malt making it an ideal dessert dram with its complementary notes of apricots, melon and honeysuckle.
To achieve the richness of this Single Malt, the traditional Arran Single Malt is matured in oak casks for eight years and then finished in a selection of Sauternes wine casks.
These Bordeaux sweet white wine casks are specifically selected by the Master Distiller from an acclaimed small producer to ensure the notes from both wine and whisky make the perfect marriage. If you're looking for something that highlights the sweeter side of Arran Single Malt, this is perfect choice. It pairs beautifully with a creamy toffee or a fudge-based pudding.
Nose: Honeyed sweetness and notes of citrus.
Palate: Richly honeyed on the palate and backed with a lifting zestiness which evolves into spice and zingy salt. The dram opens up to vanilla and sultana flavours followed by notes of toasted oak.
Finish: Sweetness, honey, apricots, melon, honeysuckle.
