Arran 1996 Single Cask

Country: Scotland

Region: Highlands

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 52%

Score: 93 Points

Cask #2096 was an ex-Bourbon cask, and it gave this single malt a nose full of caramel, vanilla, a soft oakiness, honey, and hints of banana and coconut. The taste is smooth and buttery with cinnamon and honey balanced well with the barest hint of vanilla and a touch of coconut. The finish is spicy, lingering, and very smooth. Excellent.
