Yes, a nice Arran. If I worked my way through an entire bottle I would probably realize that he has a super classic Arran profile and is more than good.

Also for me my best Arran so far. Really well done: The last remaining cl in the glass I save myself at least 15 minutes to fully enjoy the beautiful nose.

Nose

Very fruity: apples, pears, apricots and citrus fruits. In addition, fruit cake, bread dough and oak. The alcohol is very well integrated. A really nice nose that makes you want more. By the way, with a few drops of water, the citrus notes are even more effective and more vanilla comes through.

Taste

Slightly oily, very elegant mouthfeel. In addition bright fruits, nuts and a beautiful Fassgeschmack. Very powerful and substantial. With a few drops of water significantly milder, almost creamy vanilla and a little salt. Overall, very round.

Finish

Medium to long finish. Pleasant spicy oak, vanilla and milk chocolate. In the background bright fruits.

Bottled by hand directly from the original cask during the Finest Spirits Festival in Munich 15.-17.02.2013.

One of the best Arrans that I have ever tasted - nutty and full of character.

Unfortunately as Nilles told me the cask number 1023 on the label is wrong. The correct cask number is 1073, which can also be seen on a picture of the cask that I took.
