Arran Sherry Cask

The Arran Sherry Cask Finish is a beautifully rich single malt, showcasing the influence of sherry casks on the whisky’s natural character. Here’s a tasting note for this expression:

Nose: Deep and inviting, the nose reveals aromas of dark chocolate, raisins, and figs, followed by a layer of caramelized brown sugar and warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. There’s a hint of orange zest and toasted walnuts that adds complexity.

Palate: The sherry influence is pronounced, with flavors of rich dried fruits—dates, sultanas, and black cherries—interwoven with dark honey and hints of toffee. A touch of cocoa and roasted coffee beans emerges, balancing the sweetness with a slight bitterness that enhances depth.

Finish: Long and warming, the finish brings lingering notes of sherry-soaked fruits, subtle oak, and a gentle spice. The flavors of dark chocolate and a hint of almond persist, leaving a lasting impression of richness and warmth.

Overall: Arran’s Sherry Cask Finish is a complex, indulgent dram that highlights the depth and richness of sherry-cask maturation. Perfect for fans of sherried whiskies, it offers a satisfying blend of dark fruit sweetness, spice, and a pleasingly balanced finish.
