Murray's Taste Notes for Isle of Arran Single Cask 18 Year

[Quaich1]

Here are my taste notes from last night for:

Isle of Arran Single Cask 18 Year, sherry hogshead, 53.7 % abv., 232 bottles worldwide

Color- Orange bronze harvest moon

Nose: Nectarines with stewed peaches and dark stone fruit. Caramelized bananas radiate with sweet candy hues. This nose could be explored for a very long time.

Taste: Full-bodied. Lovely Turkish delight wrapped in chocolate with layers of sherry oak reminiscences.

Finish: Long, cherry blossom chocolate candy with the cherry in the middle, mild spices and a cornucopia of fruit and cocoa notes.

Comments: A complex and well-balanced meaty dram that can satisfy in the glass for an eternity. Perhaps the epitome of a dessert dram.

Rating: 94

Sounds very good, was this a distillery bottling or an Independent?
