Arran Rare Batch 15 års 53,5 % alk - French Oak Argonne

James MacTaggart’s tasting notes:

Nose: A warm spring day in the garden. Gentle cedar oak and a touch of sandalwood and incense with a sweet contrast of freshly squeezed white grapes, sweet pink lady apple and orange blossom.

Palate: A sparkling, oily texture enhanced and complimented by the higher alcohol volume. It’s picnic time with trays of honeyed fruits, sweet vanilla and orange cake with a touch of nutmeg, warm brioche buns and mango puree.

Finish: Warm spices, oak tannins and mandarin liqueur.
