ABV: 46%

Score: 92 Points

Arran 18 Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Image courtesy Arran. The oldest Arran bottled yet by this 21-year-old distillery, with a fruity nose full of red apples, peaches, and a subtle touch of orange peel along with a good maltiness and muted spices. The taste is fruity and well-balanced with apple pie, peaches, fresh berries, subtle notes of white pepper and clove, and hints of vanilla and butterscotch in the background. The finish is slightly dry and oaky with a lingering fruitiness. Excellent! (June, 2016)
