Alexandr_Zhurov did not rate this whisky
Not typical peat whisky, not like Ailovsky profile, absolutely not an amateur.-
Some kind of oil, dry, not powerful, earthy, soot, soot, very mineral, there is no sensation of smoke like from a fire, maybe coals, there is fruit sweetness, iodine.
-
Smoky, burning, sweet, a little sea, iodine, there is the influence of a barrel, some kind of ointment finol,
-
Simple sweetish but long lasting.

N- Walnut oil, oyster, toffee and honeycomb cake breeze thru. Fresh cut grass, earthy peat with sweet pandan crème brûlée and berries. Surprisingly light on nose despite the hefty strength. Get even coast-ier, seaweed, salted herbs, shellfish and clove-y. (88/22)
P- Sweet on tip, plenty of smokes rises from the back. Vanilla biscuit, cedar cigar box, sooty, grassy and liquorice with brunt salt. Hint of caol ila. (87/21)
F- Medium-long, smooth, clean and dry with liquorice. Not pushing the boundary hard enough. (86/20)
B/B- 87/21. Feel rounder than First Edition, which lost a bit of fun and appeared 'generic'.
Cr- 2, Fr- 2, Fl- 1, Pt- 2, Ft- 1, Sp- 0, Wd-1, Wn-1, Sc-2
Weighted Rate- 84pt

I decent peated whisky, although it does miss some distinct character to make it stand apart from let’s say, lightly peated whisky from Islay. The Arran character is there, but it is almost pushed away by the bourbon cask influence. What’s left is good, but not great (yet). Remains interesting, though.-
Initially, soft peat come forward that is backed up by Arran’s usual fruitiness with fresh apples and pears. A few drops of citrus fruits, and a light coastal influence with some sea spray and wet moss, are also there. All very well balanced and very friendly. Raspberry sweets, no make that strawberry, lemon skin, and a few drops of orange juice. A drop of water brings out more barley sugar, ripe apples, a few raisins, cinnamon, and a more mineral side. The citrus fruits remind me somewhat of Caol Ila, which is surely not a bad thing I would say.
-
The palate is less fruity at first and contain more peat, moss, leaves, and stables (no idea how you could taste that, though). Almost a lighter and younger apprentice of Lagavulin. Almost instantly, the bourbon cask influence comes forward. Oranges, lemons, lime, and vanilla, with fresh apple compote, the latter a touch of Arran. Water subdues the peat and brings out more sweetness. Also there are some vanilla sugar, baker’s cream, and salty crisps. It is quite fresh.
-
The finish is fairly long with more vegetal peat, salt and lemons. I would say this is quite good.

Quite like a peaty mole, dense, saturated, plastic notes a little spoil the picture, and in general I do not understand the peat Arran, an absolutely artificial and senseless whisky.-
Restrained, dry, the first nose - prela folia, peat; smoke, burnt boards, smoked products, carpentry shop, thinner, leather goods, weak flower-fruit notes.
-
Powerful, rich, peat, ash, mineral-metallic notes, grain, lemon peel, plastic, rubber, ginger, sweet confectionery shades.
-
Spicy, warming, peat, coal, ginger, oak, light herbal notes, tablet bitterness.

A clear plume of smoke hangs over the dram. Behind it shows a clear sugary sweetness. It tingles in the nose due to the higher alcohol content. The dram gets fresher and floral over time.
-
Strong start. Pleasant smoke. Light fruitiness. Citrus freshness.
-
Medium long and warming with some oak.
