85
- Nose
- Slightly feinty, cereal notes. 'Midget Gems'.
- Palate
- Quite sweet, with just a hint of oiliness. Weetabix. Perfume – lavender water? Develops, and peaches when reduced.
- Finish
- Satisfyingly long – the breakfast cereal lingers.
- Comment
- A delicate but satisfyingly complex dram. Arran has been getting better and better, perhaps this will be the optimum age.
67
- Nose
- Light, intense. Quite tight and grassy with green grape. Still some new make character.
- Palate
- Light and clean with crisp sweet cereal (Frosties). Middleweight but slightly unformed.
- Finish
- Short.
- Comment
- The spirit is still coming together. Would have been best kept in the cask for a few more years.
