Arran The Sauternes Cask Finish

Arran Sauternes Cask Finish (70cl, 50%)After a few years of maturation in traditional barrels, this Arran single malt was selected by James McTaggart to then be transferred to some barrels that had contained Sauternes wine. Not cold filtered and not coloured, it is bottled at a reduced alcohol content of 50% to maintain the concentration of aromas and flavours.Aroma: Honeysuckle, melon and marzipan with a spicy touch. With water here are banana, wild flowers and nuts. Palate: Richly sugary and reinforced by a spicy taste that veers towards salty. After a while there's vanilla and sultanas, then toasted wood. Finish: Full body. A layer of sugar syrup with persistent citrus notes.
