Tasting  : Nose : Rich, layered and complex, Caramelised almonds and choccolate covered crystallised ginfer dovertail with deep aromas of dried apricots and caramelised brown sugar. Dusty smells of the dunnage warehouse abound.
 
Palate : Bright and mouth coating, showing notes of honeycomb and salted caramel.  Herbaceous accents offets the orchard fruit which comes to the fore to display the ever-present Arran house style.  Seamless integration of age, wood characters.
 
Finish : Enigmatic, developing toward Assam tea and subtle cigar smoke. A regurgence of freshness completes the circle. A fabulous example of Arran in more advanced years.
